50NL: KK gets tons of action on a 7 high board.

[billip62]

Dry board, I'm losing confidence with KK given the amount of action I'm getting. The only way I could see the villian having a stright on the turn is with pocket 6s, which is possible, but really no more likey than a set. The villian was new to the table so this is without reads except for the action in this hand which really limits his range to small to middle pocket pairs, say 22-99... maybe 1010 given the preflop call. Opinions?

I stoved it with the following results, but I'm still a little fuzzy on equity calculations, do the pot odds make this a call?

As played the turn is a fold. I'm not sure if you should 3bet the flop but I'm pretty sure you want to get it in there against an unknown.

Could be 44-QQ, in which case you have 58% equity. You are about 50% if you think he is not doing this with 88 or 99. You have 41% equity if you leave out 88 and 99 and add in SCs like 54, 65 and 76, but make it 33-QQ + the SCs and your over 50%. I'd say call since you're only calling $25 and there is already $64 in the pot, so you're getting better than 2:1, and you have 33% equity if there are at least a couple of overpairs 88-QQ in his range. Also, you can't bet this turn and put 50% of your stack in if you ever plan to fold. If you fold, it has to be check/fold turn.

Yeah, calling flop and leading scare card on turn makes no sense. You are so much farther ahead on the flop. That's when you want to put your money in.
