Playing KK passively on Axx boards is/should be standard. Drawiness of this board makes raising the turn an option, but nh still.

This is fine, you got upset because he showed QQ or a made backdoor flush, but in all reality, your line here is fine. If he checks once, and then checks the turn, start betting for value.

Unless 300 has been your standard raise, I would like to see you make it 400-500 UTG. BB probably will call anyways, so make him make more of a mistake.
I don't mind the check on the flop, although sometimes I like to c-bet here to find out where I am at. I know DS once said that sometimes you have to see that Ace as a Duece HU when you have a big hand like KK/QQ/JJ, although it is easier said that done. Either way, you kept the pot small and lost the minimum, and bets saved are bets earned. NH. |

[/ QUOTE ] No, no you don't, because most of the time you are only getting called down by better hands / big draws. And, when you don't get called, it's going to suck, because you probably would have on a later street by a smaller pair. I think you handled it fine. If you were against me, I would have bet a [censored] chunk on the river to make you think I missed the flush; in retrospect, you should have been really happy villain doesn't know how to maximize value on the river.
