Default Re: Turn/river play with KK

There's no way I'm folding this hand. I'm just having trouble deciding between bet/calling or check/calling the turn.

He just sat down, so I think if you bet and he raises the turn, check/folding if you miss the spade on the river isn't very good. He could be raising with lots of non-A hands, looking for a free showdown or semi-bluffing with a hand like QxQs or JxJs. Even QJ with a spade might throw a bluff in there.

You beat way too man non-A hands to let this go on a semi-bluffable board.

I think I'd bet the turn. If raised, check/call. If just called, the river would be tough. Obviously bet a spade river, and I think bet a non-spade river. I might check/call if a Q or J falls, but that might not be right. I think if he has a hand like 99-77, he'll fold on a three paint board, and his other possible holdings if he didn't raise the turn are KK-JJ, AQ, AJ.
