KK easy fold or see a showdown?

[ThingDo]

I have black K's in the SB and there are two limpers to me ( CO and button ). I raise BB folds and both limpers call.

Flop 8A7 2 diamonds. I bet CO folds button calls.

Turn is the Qd. I bet Button raises. I consider folding, but I go against it and check call the river.

I would've laid down to the turn raise against a typical opponent. I don't see too many hands you can beat here. BTW, was the Ace a diamond?

[ThingDo]

Sorry, yes it was the Ad. I had no read on the opponent. I felt like it was a bad decision afterwards, but I wasn't sure so... I posted it.

[GuyOnTilt]

Yeah, I think you can fold safely on the turn. The reason I asked about the Ace has nothing to do with this specific hand, but let's say you had a strong ace on this board and the OTHER two cards were diamonds. When the raise comes on the turn, it's often by a weak ace with the A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and you're still ahead.

[ThingDo]

I'm obviously not ahead here if he has an A.

[crockpot]

calling here and on the river will cost you four small bets to win 17. if this is a player who will make this type of raise as a semi-bluff i would call him down. against a typical low-limit player you have a fold.

even if he is semi-bluffing, you will lose the pot 20% of the time if the flush hits.

[GuyOnTilt]

That's why I said it didn't apply to this hand.

[ThingDo]

Button showed 89d for the winner. Oh well. next hand ( hopefully not as bad as this one ) /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

"Bet with no outs, check with outs".

This hand is a perfect example of this play; however, when you bet the turn and are raised, you fold.
