[anduril]

online 4-8, no read

villain limps MP, I raise on the button with KK, only he calls.

flop is 3 6 Ar

check, bet, call

turn is an 8

he checks, normal play here?

[sthief09]

bet the turn and river.

[1p0kerb0y]

I second that.

I agree with sthief.

In HEFAP, Sklansky and Malmuth say to ignore the top card when you are heads-up. So, by ignoring the A, you hold a dominant overpair and it is clearly correct to bet it out.

Obviously your situation is slightly different because your villain called preflop at a multi-handed table (so he presumably has a better hand than in a tournament-ending heads-up scenario), but this advice is still correct until he shows aggression. In your case, he has been extremely weak so far.

Bet until given a reason not to bet. And then maybe bet again. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

this only has to do with headsup play. this is not headsup play. it's just a headsup pot. regardless, you don't put a loose player on an A.
