Re: TT in Kill Pot
[ QUOTE ]
Casino AZ 20-40. I haven't been at table long, but villain appeared to be very aggressive and a bit loose. I had been aggressive, though I showed trips on the last hand as Hass folded to me (again) on a turn raise.
I'm in MP, Villain on my right. Folded to him and he raises. Folded all around back to me on the kill, and I make it three bets with TT. Villain calls.
Flop A87 rainbow. Villain bets into me. I call, thinking it's WA/WB. Turn is a 9. Villain bets into me again...

One opponent and one overcard to your pair, decent pot, you can't fold. I would raise either on the flop, or make a free showdown raise when you pick up the open ender on the turn.
If you raise on the flop he may check the turn if he has an ace with a weak kicker, getting you to showdown cheaper.
The fact that this is a kill pot increases the chance that his hand is not real strong. Many aggressive players will lower their raising standards in kill pots given that the reward for a successful steal is much greater. He has to represent an ace on this flop whether he has one or not. I think the donk makes him less likely to have one. You three bet the flop so it seems that if he had a big ace he'd go for a check raise on the flop rather than betting out.
