Default Re: do you fold KK to this turn ace?

[ QUOTE ]
Yea that's true. But you can get BB to fold. And you can get him to fold a hand that he wouldn't continue bluffing on the river, but a hand he will only bet if he improves. Like a pocket pair that hits a two outer.

Who cares about BB folding? There's a pair on the flop, so if BB makes 2 pair, you win with your higher 2 pair. If the pot was gigantic, then you would have a bit of an excuse to spew some chips raise BB off of a gutshot that he's not holding.

Let's say you just call and then he checks the river. Do you bet? I vote yes.

Raising the turn is so much worse than just folding or even calling, but not taking the free showdown you paid for is worse.

If you make a bad read and put him on a hand like 99 - and there's no reason to think someone who donkbets this turn with 99 doesn't show strength on the flop - then raising the turn scares him off. Your best line if you think he is FOS is call/call or if he checks the river after your turn call, you can bet.

Also, a 44 VPIP player doesn't fold a weak ace to a turn raise.
