Villain is a good player, tagish stats, if i remember correctly like 18/8 or something. Preflop clearly says "aces" but I can pretty much call for set value, flop comes pretty but with no king and he bets fairly big, anyone lays down here? I just cant get rid of my kings so I call, on the turn he bets big again, I just cant see this being anything else than AA, good laydown?

I don't see calling the flop if you are going to laydown to that turn. I go broke here, but I don't believe in the 'he has to have aces read' and have a lot of variance with my pocket Kings. Some of the better players may laydown kings here, I would like to hear from them.

Yea I'm also sceptical about the flop call, the pot gets so big it's bigger than the stack I have left, but it's just so hard to lay down KK here.... probably one of the toughest I have done, want to hear more opinions!

How much does having 160BB really change this hand? If you had 100BB, you would stack off in a heartbeat. I don't think 160BB really changes anything based on our hand and the board. I would lean towards getting it in.

In any case, you need to make up your mind on the flop. Either raise or fold. Calling flop and folding turn is spew.

I'm also curious as to what others think.

[/ QUOTE ] Why did you abandon your read on the flop? Calling flop with your read is total spewage.

Calling flop and folding turn is the worst line here IMO, you can't 150$ hoping to hit your two outer.

I fold this on the flop and I honestly think (I know I'm going to get flamed) that you could even think about folding this PF. There are not many spots in which to fold KK PF 4 betting big out of the BB, I don't think his range is really wide there...

I dont lay this down, if he has AA he isnt scared of any card and I think he will check behind that on turn to get bluffvalue or easier get paid on river.

Honestly just fold preflop or felt it. You don't have set odds so [censored] that. I would felt it because I don't like to fold.

Well he's getting almost 3:1 direct odds on his money with effective stacks 7.5x the raise he is calling, so it is at least close right?

[Chargers In 07]

9.6:1 counting implied odds so it's not bad.
