Re: KK hand 6max 1/2
The board pair means you are almost impossible to catch when you are ahead. It was very wrong of you to bet the flop and allow Villain to force SB out of the hand with a raise. Whether you are ahead or drawing to 2 outs against Villain's ace, you desperately want SB to keep putting his money in the pot.
Villain's flop raise means one of two things:
1. You're screwed.
2. He's one of those fools who raises flops like this with (e.g.) JJ to see where he is at.
Folding is much too weak. 3-betting makes you the bigger fool, losing the maximum to an ace and winning the minimum when the lesser pocket pair folds.
I would call and bet a decent turn--no queen, club, or (maybe) jack. I think the stop-n-go gets you paid when you are ahead and I think you can fold if you get raised again.
That's my 1/2 advice. Calling down is another valid idea.
