Re: NL25 - Akward KK given pf and villain
To be honest, i think his flat call on the flop is worse than if he pushed. If villain is the only solid player at the table, like you said, it wouldnt be much of a mystery to him that you're holding AA/KK.
Diamonds are in his range, but i do not think they are likely. Also, i would not rule out the 8 for reasons mentioned earlier in this thread. You're in a tough spot because if you check the turn, he'll bet into you, and you would not have gained any info on his hand...
I think the best course of action is to make a ~ $15 bet and fold to a raise. If he calls, I shove any non-diamond non-queen, non-ace river
I think its less than likely that villain would float you all the way to the river. Solid players like to protect their hands... Given the aggression you showed, and the money you invested, he has no reason to believe you'd fold for what would basically be a min-raise... but you're smart, so you will.
