Two KK Hands
 

From todays bonus grind session at Stars. Would you make the same laydowns or am I just weak?

Re: Two KK Hands
 

I fold both

Re: Two KK Hands
 

First hand, I might check the turn and call a non-spade river. You can't call the river though so nh.

Second hand, if they villain is passive and I trust my read, I fold too. If he is aggressive, you can call down

Re: Two KK Hands
 

Fold both. Hand 1 theres just way too much out there that beats you. Hand 2 Somebody was either slowplaying or caught an A (probably Aces up).

Re: Two KK Hands
 

Hand 1, yes fold
Hand 2, yes fold

Re: Two KK Hands
 

Marginal turn bet in the first hand. You're likely behind or up against a ton of draws. I might just check it and call a bet if the river blanks.

I don't like letting hands draw for free. Especially not when a fold to a c/r is this easy. Let draws pay on the turn and take a free sd if possible.

Re: Two KK Hands
 

The problem is that the hand is likely a toss-up between making draws pay and betting with 1 out.

Re: Two KK Hands
 

I think betting the turn is spewing in hand 1, betting the flop may also be with that many players involved. Hand 2 I follow same line, possibly go for check raise on the flop if there is an aggro player who will bet into you.

Edit: Hand one only 3 handed on the flop I might be wrong, I still think you're up against an ace the vast majority of the time.

But you're planning to call the river, thus invest the same amount anyway. I don't think you'll induce a bluff often enough to make it profitable to check the turn and call the river.
