Default Re: 100NL, KK line check

In a vacuum, I don't like the line taken -- especially on the turn and river. On the turn the check smells of weakness. And on the river you can only beat a stone-cold bluff (especially since you're behind someone who just has an Ace).

I think you either need to lead the turn on a probe bet (and plan to fold if there's any resistance) or just check/fold. But check/calling _both_ a turn and river bet seems like a bad idea (you might as well lead out and pick up some fold-equity).

Of course, all of this depends on your read. If you strongly believe your opponent is bluffing, you can call the river and turn. But, the problem here is that he has taken control of the betting, and it's hard to figure out where you stand (especially against an opponent who is capable of playing almost any two cards).
