Default Re: KK river play vs. TAG

[ QUOTE ]
No.

Bet and fold to a raise. The TAG won't bet a worse hand in position; he'll check behind. He also won't raise without a better hand. It's very rare for a TAG to raise a 4-flush river in position without a flush. Also, there is a small chance he'll fold a better hand to your bet -- not likely, but check-calling is the least optimal play. In fact, check-folding is better than check-calling too.

What I'm thinking is this: Tag villain 3-bet PF. Therefore his range is most likely TT, JJ, QQ, KK, AA, and AK. On the river I lose to JJ, QQ, AA, and tie with KK. He's obviously not folding any of those to a bet. He's also not calling with AK or TT unless he has a heart. So in all actuality I'm already most likely beat and betting would be a waste of money since he's not folding a better hand or calling with a worse.

I think the big decision is between check/calling and check/folding.
