Haven't been focusing on the tables, so no reads on villain. His stats were passive enough for him to slowplay KK like this, I guess. That's why I thought he would only call a river raise with hands that beat me. Comments?

Why wouldn't you bet the flop?

[CallYNotRaise06]

id definitly bet that flop.

[ratholeusoul]

I don't bet flops like that because I can't stand a reraise. Multiway especially, there's trouble if somebody hit a set. With check/call line, I'm not losing much equity with my nutflushdraw and control pot size so that most of the money is yet to bet, if I hit my good cards. If I get reraised, I'm either playing an allin pot here or folding - neither are EV+.

Oh also, I really get no information by betting here. If I get reraised, the villain can be on a bluff (trying to push me off blank AAxx), have a good straightdraw, flushdraw, twopair, set... anything really. Most likely a set thought and that's the only hand with which he'd pay me off if I hit my flush card. If he check/calls, again I get no information - could be any of the hands mentioned above. By checking and showing weakness, I let the opponents show that they want the pot now instead of taking free cards (this is what they would probably do with flushdraw or missed flops - so I get those holdings most likely eliminated). I think check/call is the superior line here - thought I'd with higher stakes players would comment on this.

you need to bet this flop, you should be raising more than just AAxx pf from that position. if so, just never raise EP. Why are you raising PF if u can c-bet this flop? Are you expecting an Axx or 7xx flop? I mean you can get a much better flop. If you get r/r you at least know where you are and can re-evaluate.

Strongly disagree. You have enough hand to go full strength at this pot.

[Lafortezza]

Bet/raise/push every street plz.
You really think Villain has KKxx or 66xx a high % of the time here?

[durrrr]

pot flop, shove if raised (run ur equity v a likely range). check turn (shove if he bets) As played c/r AI on river.

[ratholeusoul]

What about my turn/river line?

[zizazziza]

durrr, u want a c/r on river here? I like leading river here because I think that for future instances this gives you a change for bluffing. I think by betting 2/3-full pot you give yourself a chance to bluff in the future and getting called by worse hands. Do you think worse hands call ur c/r?
