OOP KK....Check-Push ???

[Vavavoom]

**Background to table**

I'm playing 4 tables on the cryptos...only 2 tables of $1/$2NL are running and I'm playing on both, both 10 handed....

I'm playing very TAG, and have doubled my stack on the other table. Villain has been on both my tables for a while now and is ultra-lag. He has been in some monster pots and is stacking people left right and centre...I have tangled with him a few times. I have folded when necessary and re-raised him where he has folded to pressure...

Previous hand had me fold 4s4h on a Qc 4c 9c 7d Jh board....Eventual winner pushed on river with 8c3c for $350+ pot...Hence why stack is down from ~$220


Villain is 50/15 over 100+ hands...
MP2 is 27/12 over 200+ hands...

Apologies for raw hand history but Crypto HH on BisonBison isn't working properly....

Preflop limp reraise is ok here, I might make it even more to go. Like $35-40
On FLOP check makes sense only if you were planning to get check-raise allin.
As played and with your stack I like open push there, as it might to some worse opponents smell like a bad desperate bluff. You must certainly get whole stack in on flop.

I don't get the flop check either. Limp-rr preflop is obviously representing AA/KK, and now you check the flop? Who are you fooling? Not to mention the scary board. You made your money by getting them to put so much in pre-flop, so now you have to play it out postflop and hope for the best.

FWIW...I pushed and was shown TT....
