KK preflop

[Bonk]

This is really an amazing spot once you don't 4 bet.
First of all - UTG's stats are important and you didn't include them. Even a nit will open his button 3-bet range against a bad/too loose player.

Second - I'd check the flop and I would be really concerned if he actually checks the flop instead of betting because he probably won't bet this flop with aces because he hates it too, and might slow-down with trips or better.

If he bets out on the flop I think I'd call and b/f turn big. If he calls then shoving river might fold AA here, and anything better probably pushes turn anyway.

Anyway - I don't think c/f holding here is the right thing to do.

BTN's stats are over about 70 hands..significant enought to know that he's a nit.

I flatted, now wtf? Pretty easy check/fold?

I'm still 4 betting preflop. Check flop seems pretty obvious now. Only reason to bet is that if he does anything other than fold then you know you're toast.

what can he have that we beat on this flop?...AK and TT is about it given preflop action, and TT is not a likely candidate imo... i think c/c flop and shove river is he checks back the turn is the only way to get him off AA, c/rai flop here is suicide imo. either way, i think it's a gross spot vs. a 14/7, but i generally would stack off 125 bb's fairly often with KK [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think putting in a bet with the intention of folding AA is generally insane. If this is the only reason you want to bet the river then just check fold the river.
