I may be results oriented, or upset that my read wasn't correct, but it seems I lost value on this hand.

Obviously, I'm willing to play for stacks. I'll pay off KK here every time. The question is how do I get other hands to pay off more often.

Based on previous play, villain is JJ+ and I thought most likely AK here. QQ+ would likely raise, AK would flat call. He'd folded to my raises before.

Naturally, I fist pumped when he check raised me half his stack and I pushed. He's getting great odds. 8/32 so I expected a call.

The fold shocked me, but it may be think, and perhaps this is worth not getting his $8.

If I flat called, would he make another stab at the pot, and would he actually fold to a $4 turn bet getting 8-1? I'm either behind KK and the only draw that can beat me is the royal flush, and he doesn't have odds for that.

Does anyone think that flat calling his check raise might entice a worse hand to put in more money on the turn or river?
