What do you think of this hand, in particular my check on the flop. I can't lay KK down heads-up vs. a calling BB with almost any flop. I figure I'm either way ahead or way behind on a flop with an ace so I decided to check, and entice my opponent to call me down if he does hit the board on the turn. I figure I'll save 1 SB the times I'm up against an Ace, and gain sometimes 2 extra BB the times I winning.
I do think this play would only work against weaker opponents, but this is for small stakes.
Thoughts?
