Four players left, UTG I'm dealt K /images/graemlins/heart.gifK /images/graemlins/spade.gif I raise, the short stack on the button re-raises for his last two fifty(all in), the BB calls and I call.(I would've rr the BB if I could)
The flop comes 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif4/images/graemlins/club.gifQ/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
The BB checks and I bet 2/3's the pot. BB folds.
The button(Short stack) turns over A /images/graemlins/spade.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif
The turn is the A /images/graemlins/heart.gif
The river is a blank.
The button wins the pot.
The BB then immeadiately starts to whine about how he would've beat the button(presumably he had a better ace)and that we'd now be in the money.
I wrote him off as a bit of a wanker, but it got me wondering if there's anybody who could argue in favor of a checkdown here.
There was 3000 in the pot pf, I had the BB covered by 1000, and had 2000 left after my flop bet. The CL who wasn't involved in the hand was sitting on 6500-7500.
I figured I was the best player at the table and the button was the weakest.
Thanks

Big pot, chip ev > any ev you have by increasing chance of getting 1 guy out.

Yup. Definitely.

I'm not checking down KK here because of the 3 outer.

In fact, I shove the flop.
