Default Re: 25NL - KK on scary looking board against LAG

You had a decision point on the flop and got it wrong. I would have put more in PF, but whatever. On the flop there is barely $2 in the pot and you have nearly $24 behind, villain covers you. That's a small pot.

What's the plan with the raise to $4? You already called the board scary so I assume you thought villain could have somehow connected and a J is certainly in his range somewhere as is a T which is a bit more likely. There are lots of hands you beat, a couple you don't, and several that can draw out.

If you're unsure of where you're at then try to keep the pot small. You could have done that by just calling his donk bet in an attempt to see a cheap showdown. Your raise, therefore must have been for information I'm guessing. Well, if that's the case, then he gave you the necessary information to fold.

Calling his reraise was horrible because now you have gotten yourself into a big pot and committed to the hand possibly unintentionally. Either way, there is $16 in the pot and you have $17 behind. This is no time to be wondering whether or not you're committed to the hand.

Folding in a big pot is bad bad bad and villain is telling you he has you crushed. Oops.

Keep the pot small or get out when you're lost. That's what I think anyway.
