his reraise is fine imo.
almost 5x original raise is enough, you still want callers.

lol..it's funny..almost the exact same hand happened to me this weekend at a b&amp;M. After the session a professional that I have come to be friends with and I were discussing the situation(huge bets or reraises in pots that were raised preflop when the flop comes off like that) and he told me that these kinds of lay-downs are a must.

The next day sure enough he lays down KK in the exact same situation and the villian show the set. I don't know..I just don't think I can do it.

BTW...he's been a pro for 30 years so I can't argue with him.

I bet that the flop he folded KK on was different or he had a solid read.

He's not a very good professional if the hands he was talking about are like the one in the OP here. If he's really gotten by for 30 years then you are misunderstanding him most likely and applying it to the wrong flops.
