Default Re: Deep with Kings...not familiar territory

[quote...but I don't think he would bet that much on the turn with the nuts...More to the point, I'd be stunned to ever see QQ when he bets that big on the turn...at these stakes. That big of a bet makes me think he wants me to fold, and what hand would he have that wants me to fold on that flop?

At least...that was my reasoning...completely off base?

It's hard to say how this particular player would play the nuts with so little info on him. In general however, it is not unusual for someone to play the nuts this strong and even push the turn. If he puts you on kk or aa, he feels like he has you and wants to get your stack. He may not be thinking about it very much at all, or he may be concerned with cards that could come to kill his action (not necessarily make him lose). If an ace peels off, he's either beat or could lose action against kk. He's probably just betting a strong hand hard without thinking however.

I'm not saying that's what he has, just that your rationale that no one would take this line with qq or some other set is not correct.
