Re: 200nl: Line check KK on Axx flop

I throw in a 1/2 psb on the flop and play from there.

DON'T DO IT JOHNNY!
Seriously, we check the flop because our hand has showdown value but we want to minimize the pot size since about half of villains range is ahead of us here. We also want him to feel more confident with QQ-TT so that he might put in a bet on later streets whereas he'd certainly fold if we bet the flop. Essentially 1/2 potting the flop turns our hand into a bluff, and we don't want that.
As played I call the turn bet planning to fold to anything substantial on the river. I might fire river if he checks, but more often than not I'm checking behind. Getting check/shoved on the river would make me puke, and I don't think we can extract much more value from QQ-TT or whatever.
Damn, didn't even realize you had the NFD. Def call turn then, our equity against his range certainly merits it. Raising is obviously silly, he never folds an ace and always folds what we beat.
