Someone call the bad beat police!!

I'm not complaining, it's a legitimate question. With the action on the flop do I ever actually worry about KK or 55 or do I push until I'm blue?

There are no legitimate scenarios that I can envision that have me calling or folding this hand.

This one. If you're up against KK, it was misplayed horribly, and 55 is the only other hand that beats you. The majority of the time you're getting this action from someone that rivered the nut flush or something else you beat.

OK, good.

I'm guessing you lost to KK.

I bet SB limped in to be all like Hellmuth and sheet, and he got his card on the river.

I really hope this isn't a bad beat post, because he was way ahead of you before the flop if he had KK.

Then I don't get the question.

You should always cap here with a full house.

The only two hands that beat you are KK and 55. Both are unlikely.

You'll win this hand 90% of the time.

I realize that I'm ahead here most of the time, I was simply asking if I should have slowed down. Considering the flop action I thought that 55 was a possibility, obviously a small one. I'm fairly new to the game, it it's a stupid question we can say so and leave it at that.
