Default Re: Common problem: KK gets donked by an A-high flop

[ QUOTE ]
This is a real problem hand for me as well.

Whenever I raise the KK on the flop in this situation it is with the intention to fold to a three-bet on the flop. But what usually happens is that the original bettor just calls.

Assuming the other two players fold on your raise on the flop and, as it often happends at micro-limit, SB calls the raise on the flop

what do you do then on the turn if

SB bets the turn again?

SB checks the turn?

I'm usually raising flops here and folding to a 3-bet.

If villian has an ace it's probably a weak one and villian will be afraid of kicker trouble. This raise will get us free cards in this situation.

If SB bets again on the Turn I'm gone. I'll get him next time when I have AQ or something of that nature.

What you do on the Turn if villian checks is primarily based on your read and how sure you are villian has an Ace. If you are almost positive he's got the goods I take the free card. If there is still doubt in my mind based on read I will bet with the intention of taking a free showdown.
