KK on an ugly board... no action
 

is that turn bet terrible? after making the bet i'm realzing i'll only get called by a better hand... checking down is seeming like the best option i guess... should i have bet the flop?

That is like the worst possible board for pocket kings.

Re: KK on an ugly board... no action
 

Yea, with that board and two callers you are definitely in check fold mode.

but would representing J there be an option? or is the shorty too committed to fold an A?... on a normal hand getting called like that i would assume he had an A... but i got lucky and he had QQ Lol

Re: KK on an ugly board... no action
 

Maybe its just me, but I like to make a 3/4 size bet here on the flop to see if anyone has an A or J so i can get away from the hand without too much lost.I hate the check around on flop.

betting 2/3 of the pot here commits the villain. The pot is too big to [censored] around with here, and Im checking. I fold to action from button and if BB bets I pay him off very angrily.
