KK in UTG+1; Two 10's on Board; Oh My!

[yellovizion]

Live 3/6. I've been card dead for the last hour or so. No solid read on BB. He's been sitting for ~15 minutes. Seems to play a wide range of hands. He seems aggressive, but has always shown down big hands (in this short time span).

UTG (loose passive) limps, I raise w/ red KK in UTG+1. Folded to BB who calls as does UTG.

Flop is 10 10 7 r.

BB bets, UTG calls, I raise, BB 3-bets, UTG folds, I cap.

Turn is a blank (no straight possible).

BB bets. I...

Feel free to comment on other streets. I can give rationale for flop play after some comments have been posted. I'd prefer to see reactions unaffected by my explanation.

I would just call the flop 3-bet, then call down if you think you have a chance to be in the lead. If your behind, you lose less, if ahead, you don't allow him to get away from his hand.

If the BB was passive, you could fold, but with no read, I'm inclined to call it down - there's alot of hands he could have that you beat.

call down. you have an overpair, the pot is big and you certainly don't want an aggressive player pushing you off the best hand. that being said, your flop cap announced a big pocket pair and he's not backing down. calling down is going to keep a worse hand in while respecting the strength of his play.

why did you raise the flop?

Because he has the best hand and wants more money to go in the pot?

Ok, I capped the flop bc I thought it could give me an indication of BB's strength if he bets out on the turn. Since it was a blank and he fired away, I was pretty sure he had a 10 (or pocket 7's). A high pocket pair seemed possible, too. So, I called down. Maybe I should have just called the 3-bet and called down turn and river?

Thanks for your replies. It is nice to read no one would have folded here (since I did not).
