KK w/Ace on flop heads-up

[LowDown22]

I agree I should have called the river unless I had a perfect read on this player. I thought I had a pretty solid read on him, but definitely not perfect, so he could have been bluffing me.

As for the rest of that thread though, my line looks correct - Simply call down since I'm either way ahead or way behind. I just want to point that out since most responses in this thread mentioned raising this on the flop and you seem to have missed part of Ed's explanation.

1. I think calling is CLEARLY the best play on the flop.

Since this is a "way ahead or way behind" situation, you will also finish with the best hand about that often.

Raising is counter-productive. It tends to slow down a bluffer, and it just causes you to go off for two extra bets against a real hand. Even if you get 3-bet, you can't fold, which brings me to...
2. No folding!

Any of you that included the word "fold" as any part of your answer... raising the turn and folding to a 3-bet... betting and folding to a check-raise, etc., I think you are wrong.
