I raised too 600, the flop came Axx, we both checked and he bet about half the pot on turn and I was realy in a sick spot.
Guess it's too risky with Kings.

Why do you assume he has an ace on the turn? Why did you check on the flop?

If you bet, you want to achieve one of the following benefits:
a) a stronger hand folds
b) a weaker hand calls

both won't happen very often here.

Well, there are other reasons for betting if you mean that very generally, but if I'm not betting on this flop, I do not have a sick spot on the turn, because I'm folding any non-K turn.

I was just curious why he didn't, to get insight into his thinking.

Prolly he will pay you with QQ sometimes, but clearly no ace is folding + weaker hands are usually drawing thin, two outs.

If you were him, are there no players you would fold an ace again? Of course, you're not likely to be at that flop with A8s, but...
