Re: Donkbet with KK

I don't see why didn't raise this raggedy flop for value. Also I feel the best way to punish CO's predilection for 3-betting to represent is to cap him.

I felt there was a good chance I could trap 2 players for 2 BB on the turn as UTG is fairly straightforward and I tentatively put him on top pair. He could be playing the same way with QQ of course, but QK or AQ, or even a smaller PP was more likely.
As for CO's turn 3-bet, capping did not enter my mind although he has isolation-raised in big streets fairly often. He plays just about any 2 cards preflop so he could have anything, including a wide range of hands that possibly beats mine. But he has also often checked behind the river after showing tremendous strength on the turn - the ol' prepay-for-a-free-showdown play - hence my river bet. I didn't consciously plan ahead what to do if CO raised the river.
CO has taken similar lines at the turn with a good draw, or a pair + good/marginal draw, or a very strong hand.
