raise the flop with KK with an A on board?

It all depends on whether you think BB is capable of betting the turn with middle/bottom pair or unpaired Broadway gutshots.

The flop raise and turn bet is not terrible if you can get BB to fold a weak ace. I do it, but I'm a maniac. Absent reads, though, I think the turn bet is just spewage. He's calling down with his A/7.

Yeah, not terrible, I agree, but I think you're right that I'm not getting villian to fold a weak ace.

Your read is dead on:


Final Pot: 8.25 BB.
Results below:

BB has Ah 7h (a pair of aces.)
Hero has Ks Kd (a pair of kings.)
BB wins 7.88 BB.
