This is my first week at this level and this is the second time this has happened in that time(it never happened at lower levels).

I can't decide whether it would be more profitible to smooth call pf and try and get allin on a flop with no King. I figure that there are six cards (AAQQQQ) that kill my action and the two kings which ruin me, and I can't figure out if that is worth the risk.

I suppose UTG could also be on QQ or AK, but that seems unlikely.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I would have played it the exact same way.

i smooth call this every time... a 4 bet is aces, sorry, there's no other way and i'd be surprised if someone didn't lay down kings there, to be honest. he really wants to take the lead then let him. for god sake you have position, why not let him put himself all in on the flop?

[Yeti]

Yeah, you really need to call this.

I smoothcall this every time. Unless I'm playing against a super-maniac (and often even if I am), I won't put in a third raise preflop. I try to break him on the flop or turn.

200 pot, villian has 300 behind on the flop. No way he can fold unless there's an A.
