Default Re: KK: lots of action, monotone flop

*grunch*

If I'm understanding your post, he's an unknown so the stats you later accumulated only serve to justify your play.

Flop: Auto 3-bet. He doesn't have AcKc or AcQc, so...

Behind:
3 ways to make AA against which you do not have a flush redraw (2 outs).
3 ways to make AA against which you have a flush redraw (11 outs).
3 ways to make QQ against which you have a flush redraw (11 outs) but have to defend against a FH on most.

... and you're pretty much ahead of everything else imagineable

AK - 8 ways - 8 out redraw against you 4 ways.
KK - 1 way - can't lose to this.
JJ - 6 ways (2 outs)
TT - 6 ways (2 outs)

so you need to bet for value. Moreover, you've got to do something about the calling stations... if they are hanging around for flush draws (Ac notwithstanding), then there are fewer clubs out there for Villain to catch so your Ks might hold up.

As played:

Turn: Lead again with the blank and test for resistance from AcKo now that he's a bigger dog.

River: You're really only afraid of the MUB here, but if you've still got the callers, you've got to be concerned that someone is still there with a JTs/AJs/ATs of trump and you want to show this hand down. I think betting gets you into trouble here if you're not headsup. I think this is check/call; just not sure what to do if it comes back 2 bets <frown>.
