Default Re: live $6/12 - 2nd nuts - when to stop raising

I have never seen a 6-bet river where the 2nd nuts is winner. That said, it's nearly impossible to believe villain has KK here.

Also, remember that from HIS perspective, KK isn't the nuts, JJ is. And he should start to fear that you have it.

When he's raising the river, is he insta-raising? Usually, after 3-4 bets go in, there's a long pause as the players look again at their cards, study the board (just to make sure they aren't missing anything), and often count on their fingers to make sure there aren't straight flushes available (not making this up...the "finger counting" tell is very reliable that villain does NOT have a SF).

If there has been no pause, I would pop again. Even with KK, villain may just call. If he raises, I call the ocho.
