Re: KK, huge pot, what now?

Check/calling here seems abnormal

It seems very abnormal, since you have position on your remaining opponent. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Assuming that you were out of position, though, you can't bet/fold. Even if you're behind, you have 10 outs to beat any set, 16 outs to beat any two pair, 6 outs to beat AA (unlikely without a cap preflop), and 3 outs to chop with AK. The pot odds are just too favorable to even consider folding to a raise.
I don't like check/calling, either, because I don't want to give a free card to a hand like KQ and give him 8 outs to chop with me. And while you don't mention a limit, many players at every limit I've tried will call down with an underpair here (or even a weak UI ace), no matter whether they can't possibly be ahead of any reasonable preflop capping hand.
So I like bet/call, reevaluate on the river if raised.
