KK line check

Villian is 30/18 over 50 hands. No real reads. I know I'm gonna get a lot of "if u call the turn u have to call the river" responses, but I never agree w/ those since the dynamics of the hand change on river dramatically.

I'd call turn and fold river.

I'm going to have to agree with call turn and fold river.

Although villain is a bit loose preflop with the calls, small pocket pairs fit into a large part of his range here. If I hit my set I would check into you being the preflop raiser who probably cbets a lot, and raise trying to get some more money in the pot. From there I would lead out for value on the rest of the streets, protecting my hand and getting value, so his line fits a set here.

Other possible holdings is a mid PP but I think they would probably raise more on the turn, trying to take down the pot before an over card comes.

X5 is always a possibility but I think a very small one, not to worried about the straight here.

AQ fire on the turn? Don't think so, and would probably raise more on flop if on a steal.

Just can't think of anything you beat, perhaps ahead of JJ but I'd have to fold.

W/ the Q on the river I don't think anyone sane is pushing 77,88,99,TT,JJ, which is the only reason I called turn (along w/ QQ)
