Re: 50 NL - KK fold the flop
I think you are obsessing way to much about finding out where you are at. First of all, pf you have very very profitable situation. The pot is already big and several opponents have indicated they have some sort of hand that they might call a rr with. Rr bigger to $8.5. If they fold speculative hands like 22 or 67s, that they donīt intend to put any money in with post flop unless they flop big, that is ok.
On the flop, in this sized pot and with a hand as good as KK, ask yourself, are there any legitamate hands villains might call with? Obvious answer is hands like KQ, AQ. How do you extract from those hands? You bet. If villain happens to have a better hand than yours, tough break. The awesome check/miniraise from the pf re-raiser is not going to extract more than the minimum from those hands, whereas if you bet out villain might overplay his top pair and raise.
Your job at the table in this spot is not to find out if you are beat, it is getting the most possible value out of a realistic range for villain. To make every effort that the money that goes into the pot goes in good. Also if you think villains range for betting the flop is QQ, AA, AK (lol) raising seems like a really bad idea.
