NL400 - my flop CB with KK is raised

[mack848]

Every time I dip into the FT 400 game, this sort of play seems to be made much more frequently than in lower games. This Villain was unknown; other than he was 13/7/3 over 20 hands.

Is this an standard fold vs. a likely TAG? If not, what's your plan?

Looks like you invited it by betting $3 over 1/2 pot.

I don't know why anyone would bet anything but $54 on this flop.

bet isn't that bad, i'd have bet like 38-44. As played i guess you should call, and re-evaluate the turn. I think you can probably get it in on a blank.

EDIT: I could probably call and get it in on a blank. I don't know how aggressively you play. If you are tightish and passive you can probably get away at some point in this hand.

Tough spot.

If you fold here, you are never going to win at NL400 though.

since only 20 hands with villain, OP's image does not matter.

since you bet so small, i would call, and shove over villain's bet on turn.

I also like calling and CRAI on most turns.

That's what I wanted to hear. I called, got it in on the turn and was stacked.

[Windforce]

what did the BB have?

[too eazy]

id rather make a move on the flop then see a safe turn. unless i know someone to be agg i assume they take the free card.

[alex-star]

They had TT or slow played AA? Oh well.
