I hate this raise. When you're ahead, he's drawing to 2 outs. You can scrounge another bet from KQ by calling and check/calling (or weakly leading) the turn. If he pairs his TJQA kicker, you're taking his stack.

I agree with Trey. It's rare that passive play is effective in NL holdem, but this flop is one of them. You pretty much know that no card can hurt you except another king. I'd smooth call his raise to 15, then either check-raise the turn, or smooth call and lead out with the river. If he has a 9 he's not folding to your raise and you're dead one way or the other. If he's got a king, let him keep "the lead," and if he's on a bluff let him keep firing.

raise is damn pointless there.

classic case of only get called if you are behind.

would KK really raise to 70 there?

nobody is folding a 9.

i dont like it at all. call the flop and let him bet his money away with a king drawing to 2 outs, or save yourself from going broke against a 9

very unlikely you are against KK, in fact i would say you have about a 0% chance of that out

so hes either got a 9, a painted K, or maybe T's or J's and is testing you. either way, call the flop and play your hand as if hes got KQ

you could even consider checking this flop and calling rather than leading, but i;d probably get it
