$114: KK, guess flop
Since everyone failed my quiz yesterday you get a 2nd chance with a more remedial version. Good luck.
Unknown villain. Note that I also picked up the nut flush draw on the turn.

Re: $114: KK, guess flop
haha, i got it right today. all this poker studying is really paying off when i can guess flops of hands i have not played....
anyway, i just call the turn. i dont think you ever fold a better hand and there really are not many river cards that are gonna give you a problem. plus you have good showdown value.

Re: $114: KK, guess flop
I fold at the flop bet, you really beat JJ only here.
As played your push seems a bit desperate since I don't see what he could possibly lay down, while u have odds to just call.

Re: $114: KK, guess flop
One always brings oneself in tough situations if u dont bet these flop. Every semi competent player immediately knows what u have. Just bet half potish on the flop and give up if called.
After u check you will keep up playing levelling games, cuz your hand is face up.

Re: $114: KK, guess flop
Yeah, I check a lot of flops in situations like this, I might would check here anyway but if there's ever a spot to bet/fold KK on an A-high flop this might be it.
As played through the turn, I'd rather call than CR, just because I don't think CR'ing serves much of a purpose really. If he folds getting such good odds, I think it's pretty likely that KK is the best hand. I don't think you have much FE at all here and I really don't see you getting called when you're ahead ever, although you do obviously have outs. Like ryan said, if you're trying to get your stack in as a semi-bluff, I think shoving the turn first to act would be better. After you check, I think the move is to call.

Re: $114: KK, guess flop
I thought betting a flop like this wasn’t a good idea. He could raise w/ a draw etc?
I now see the CRAI on the turn wasn’t great. Either push or just call his bet (what if he went allin?). I assume we call any river and push if we make the flush?

This is why betting the flop solves basically all problems in the hand.
