Default Re: Is this scared poker ?

Kim,

Of course, with your opponent capping pre-flop you can rightfully assume they have a big pair. At this point I still figure my KK is best (until given VERY good reason otherwise) and I want to extract the most bets from a smaller pair.

I like to checkraise the flop. If I get 3-bet I'll just call as to not give away too much information.

On the turn I would go for the checkraise again. If I get 3-bet here I'll go into check-call mode down to the river.

Bottom line is that pre-flop you really don't have any good reason to think you're behind. Many players will cap heads up with 1010 - AA (possibley AKs). Using a checkraise on the flop and/or turn should give you better information as to what your opponent is holding.
