Default Re: KK 10/20

I think this is an unfortunate call down. You have to put in 2.5 more BB to win 7.25 BB. I think you are good at least a third of the time and villain could be getting frisky hoping the flop missed you and he can push you off. The river bet scares me a little because if a thinking player makes it he has to be thinking about what hands will call his bet, and KK is certainly in the range. But even if villain was very sharp and you knew he wouldn't bet a hand likely to be beaten by your range of holdings, at this point the likelihood of a river bluff following up a semi-bluffed draw that missed dictates a call. So calling down is probably slightly +EV, and raising anywhere seems foolish since you'd rather worse hands keep at you. Can anyone make an argument for a turn raise for free showdown?
