Default Re: tricky turn card

In this spot, it's actually fairly likely that your opponent does not have an ace and your KK is the best hand. In this case though, he is drawing to a mere 2 outs, so you don't need to spend too much time worrying about knocking out his draw, and should focus on winning the max when you are ahead / losing least when behind, the so called way ahead / way behind play.

In light of this, I think checking and perhaps donking the river is the best play. You don't want to get raised when you bet into him, so waiting for the river may be best. If he checks the turn of course, you have the best hand and bet the river for value.

Basically, you can't go too wrong provided you don't check-fold.

good luck.
