KK between a rock and a fish.....

[ArchonsEngine]

UTG is a rock and PlayAny2 is.....well, that should be obvious. /images/graemlins/smile.gif CO is new to the table, so no read yet. It's a fairly-typical PP .5/1 table, though the two on my right are both very tight. I was definitely worried about UTG's PF raise and willingness to open the action on this flop, but thought my hand was strong enough (and the pot big enough) to warrant facing the others with 2 cold. Any comments appreciated.

Thanks!

I think a very good case could be made for folding on the flop.

I probably should've mentioned I planned to check/fold the turn unimproved.

Doesn't really change the fact that you put in 3 bets on the flop chasing a 2-outer.

You're absolutely right.....I just reread my reply to your first comment and couldn't believe I'd said it. *shakes head at self*

I almost certainly should've folded this, and definitely shouldn't have raised. Sometimes I guess you just need to try to defend a stupid play before you realize that it was.
