Default Re: 100NL : KK with allin player, side pot action with A

Great question cbloom,

This situation is entirely read dependent. You state:
[ QUOTE ]

Villain has been pretty solid, so must have QQ or AK. Shortie has been very loose, so can have any pair or Ax or worse. Does betting here accomplish anything other than pay off AK ? Maybe I should just try to check it down? I may have to call bets since Villain may well bet a hand like QQ or JJ.

When you say

Villain's range is AA, AK, the other KK, or QQ I think this bet becomes extremely marginal. Given that villain is solid, I think this becomes a clear check.

Putting Opponent's ranges into Pokerstove I get

2,373,084 games 0.797 secs 2,977,520 games/sec

Board: Ac 8c 6h
Dead:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 23.1119 % 21.32% 01.79% { KdKs }
Hand 2: 24.9426 % 24.57% 00.37% { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
Hand 3: 51.9456 % 49.99% 01.96% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }

Adding JJ to villain's range only increases your equity by 8%. Against a very aggro who will bet here with a smaller pair I like betting a lot. In your situation, check, you said it yourself you're ahead of only one or two of villain's possible range.
