KK - 15/30

[wuarhg]

Just started dabbling in the 30 full after 3 months off 6-max, did pretty well at 10/20 6max.

CO in this hand is weakish with 16/6, Aggression 1.4/1.2/2
Button is loose and odd 44/11, Overall Agg: 1

This hand seems pretty straightforward from a hand range view, CO most likely plays AA, KK, QQ, TT, AQs maybe but discounting that heavily. So considering all this, is this turn a call? I doubt i'll make 5BB on the river if I spike a K since it is somewhat of a scarecard. This is probably pretty close but interesting I guess.

raise.. if your reraised fold looks like the tight button has AK .. could be slowplaying QQ but i doubt it. i think CO has you beat.. button AK? am i right?

nevermind misread your post sorry

Why check-raise the flop? The main reason for checkraising is to get more money in the pot than betting out or to cut down people's odds. By betting out you'll be able to get at least the same amount of money in an already big pot, and you'll be able to 3bet his raise and put the last flop action on him to see whether or not he wants to cap it.

If you bet out and 3-bet and he caps, what would you do on the turn with the same board? Don't you think he still has the same hand range?

Uggghhhhh....ugly. CO's hand wreeks of AA or a set of queens here. The people that said to possibly raise this turn are maniacs. I hate folding in big pots so I'd take the fishy line and call down. I'd expect to be shown one of the two latter hands in most instances.
