Re: Too Passive with KK?
My thinking behind raising the turn:
a) Fold a 5 outer, probably not worth it since as you said the pot is small and he's probably putting 1BB in on the river. Do you find a river value bet if he checks?
b) Maybe get an ace to fold. When this happens it's huge, but I'm thinking it doesn't happen often at 2/4.
c) Charge a semibluff. Does a semi bluff usually fire another barrel on the river when they miss here?
As far as just folding out a bluff, I think if we're ahead villain is more likely to have a piece than be flat out bluffing, still a factor though.
To sum it up, if he'll bet the busted draws on the river, and he's paying off 1BB on the river with a 5 outer, then it makes no sense to raise if he's not folding an ace, since we just give up the chance to spike a king when 3 bet, or even make an incorrect fold if he has something like 34.
