NL25 - KK gets bet into with A on flop

[Route66]

A few hands before I had KK also and put in a big reraise after an EP raise and a cold caller who is villain below.

Hero? Fold, push? I assume calling is out of the question here? Also, is the size of my PF reraise good?


Thanks.

I make it a bit less pf, this is fine too, as played fold, most of the time he has an A and will probably not give it up

This is really villain dependent.

Does villain always continuation bet?

[Unknown Soldier]

this isnt a cbet

Ulch. Normally I'd say raise that weak flop bet. But any raise commits you for your stack.

It's possible Villain has a draw, but I think the most likely holding is a scared A. So I say push if you think he'll fold a scared A, fold otherwise.

Preflop raise seems a bit big to me, especially since you have position. I like $3, maybe a bit more (pot-sized raise).

Why is calling out of the question? Raising is spew.

reverse implied odds, raising&gt;calling anyway, defines your position in the hand and might save money on later streets. folding&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt ;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;raising though.

Just folding here without thinking and reads is stupid.

Do you have a read on your opponent? What's his raising range? What's his range when he is re-raised preflop and he calls?

How aggro is he? So many things to consider before just folding.

E.g. if I am villain, I often call preflop re-raises with suited connectors, pocket pairs, etc. etc. If an aggro villain like me could always push KK out with a 1/2 pot bet on the flop, I'd be rich.

What is villain like? Then act accordingly. Folding here without thinking is retarded.
