Default Re: KK86 in the CO and flop a set

[ QUOTE ]
First off...calling with KK86 is never good on the button or CO?

I will call with most of my KK hands in late position (and also in early position if the table is not to aggressive preflop). The implied odds you will have if you flop your set justify the call in my opinion.

Anyhow, you bet the pot on the first betting round, which seems proper to me.

But then you get two callers. Ugh.

And then when the turn is an ace, UTG+1 pots. And that pot sized bet, should you call, will enable UTG+1 to put you all-in on the next betting round. Thus your potential cost to possibly win half of the $29.75 in the pot is $96.35-$9.75=$86.60.

Do you want to risk $86.60 to possibly win $14.88?

I wouldn't.

It's a good bet by UTG+1. You cannot tell if he has AAXY, 23XY, both, or neither. But the risk is not worth the possible gain.

It's an easy fold.

I agree with Buzz. This should be a fold.

Of course it is possible villain has put you on the nut low draw and is betting the scare card. But then he will have a back up low like 2 5 almost any time (Surely I would). It is doubtful he will fold to a push.
