Pussy or prudent? KK facing A on board

[cheburashka]

Relatively early in 4/180

Not a lot of comment, as hand is pretty self-explanatory. Villain arrived only two hands ago--1 fold and 1 raise (collecting without showing cards).

UTG: (485 in chips)
UTG+1: (3026 in chips)
MP1: (2035 in chips)
MP2: (2040 in chips)
HJ: (1738 in chips)
CO: (5085 in chips)
Hero: (2570 in chips)
SB: (1322 in chips)
BB: (1395 in chips)

Blinds 15/30, Hero on button with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

One fold, MP1 raises to 90, four folds, Hero raises to 270, two folds, MP1 calls 180

Flop: (585) [2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]

MP1 checks, Hero bets 400, MP1 raises to 800, Hero???

Yep. This is a fold, but you shouldn't bet this flop IMO. I'd check behind almost every time here.

Nice subject heading.

Yeah, checking behind here is the way to go. You're not really getting called by very much here if he has a worse hand - only club draws come for the ride, and Ac limits that. Any "A" is not folding in this spot in this buy-in. Pot control is key re-evaluate turn.

This is a fold. Prudent.

[BlueEcho]

Prudent fold, and I check behind

OOP, I bet this flop. In position, try and get to showdown cheaply.
