Default Re: KK UTG

Hmm. It costs us 2 BBs to see a showdown, and we're getting 6:2 overall on our turn and river calls.

We're probably losing, though.

AK = 6 combos
AQ = 9 combos
AA = 3 combos
QQ = 3 combos

KK = 1 combo

JJ = 6 combos
TT = 6 combos

That seems good enough, but the range is just a guess. In fact, Villain's range could be wider, especially since he knew the pot would be heads-up. But a wider range could help or hurt you, depending on how Villain extends that range.

Some other thoughts:

Once Villain bets the river, I'm not very optimistic. But you are getting 7:1 at that point.

Your flop check (which I think is okay) smells like a trap. But Villain might (correctly, in this case) interpret it as weakness instead, so it's hard to know what we should make of his turn lead.
