Default Re: KK, wise or insane laydown?

I really hate this fold. I hate it like my ex-wife, I hate like I hate the 1986 Boston Celtics. A guy with those stats that you define as passive, which he is, is also by definition clueless. His motivations for doing things aren't based on math or logic or hand reading.

His stats are about what you would get from a guy who only raised top pair. Even if he is clueless he knows you don't have a three, and figures his eight is good. Clueless players peel most flops, even with something like 89o. If he has A8 here (which I would say is his most likely holding) I am sure he thinks he is gold.

I would raise the turn, possibly cap if it is three bet and lead or call the river. BB isn't a concern. He is just doing the old 'I called in the BB so I will represent a three'. You could be beat here, but I think your chances are closer to 10% than 95%. Even a guy who plays 55% of his hands doesn't play many 3x hands except for A3.
