Default Re: KK with A on flop in 50r

New poster here so please bear with me if I am spewing nonsense.

When the villian bets the turn and checks the river, what hands are you putting him on? I would think his most likely holdings are AJ or a pp lower than the board. If that is the case, aren't you leaving potential chips on the table by not value betting the river?

[/ QUOTE ] Nope, because AJ calls and worse PPs fold. So either you lose all your chips or fold out hands that would lose to you anyways after you check down.

Agreed.

I also agree that the villain is not folding aces to a river push very often.

I like the way that you played the hand Bond.

Pf and flop are obviously automatic.

I could find a fold because your stack sizr on the turn but I don't dislike your call either with 6 outs to improve

River is standard, I fold if he pushes the river

I think this was fine on all streets.

I could possibly fold the turn bet considering your stack size, but I hate automatically giving him credit for the A here as folding just seems really weak. You still have 14BB if you lose the hand, so call seems fine.
