I think it's an automatic bet here, fold to a check-raise, and hope for a free showdown on the river (if he comes out betting on the riv, I also drop).

Not a great flop or turn for KK, but I say bet out, and hope the guy's on a club draw.

The board looks scary, but think of it this way. When you bet the turn and get check-raised, you have an easy fold. See? A silver lining!

However, a lot of the time they call with crap or fold to the turn bet anyway.

My only concern with this normally reasonably plan is if BB, who is short-stacked, might try to bluff checkraise here as a desperation move.

My concern with your concern is that if I called this down and were shown an ace or 7 I would want to kill myself for being the worst player ever. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I checked the turn. River was 10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
BB bet out on river and I called.
BB showed 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif?

I was thinking it was a close call on the turn...and I did fear the desparation c-r. I was prepared to call a bet on the river no matter what fell.
