Default Re: KK OOP

Mucking a big pocket pair is one of the hardest things in poker for me. That said, what do you think Villan is playing that you're ahead of? What do you think he's playing that you're behind but have outs against? If you have outs, do you have the right pot odds to call to your outs?

I don't see villan raising an OESD on the turn, so you're probably up against two-pair, a set or an ace (a passive villan isn't raising, here, with nine-rag). Against a set or any ace, you're drawing to 2 outs (as long as it's not a set of aces); against two-pair with 98, you've got 2 kings, 3 aces and 3 deuces, for 8 outs.

So, there are a lot more hands that would be played like this that you're behind than that you're ahead of. I think you should call the turn and check/fold the river UI. Is that what I would do? Doubtful. But, I think that's what you SHOULD do.
