What is the correct play here?

[Steverino2]

Piggs Peak NL .25-.50

My first lap around so no reads yet-UTG raises to $2
folded to me in cutoff w/ KK--I reraise to $6
Button and blinds both folds--he just calls the raise
My stack is $19 his is $35
my plan is to bet the flop hard if an ace doesn't appear
Flop= J 7 3 with two spades--he checks to me and I
go all in which is about the size of the pot--he thinks
for a long time--types in A Q of spades and finally calls
of course an ace comes on the turn and he takes it down

my question is this: should I have reraised all in pre flop? just smooth called the raise and go all in on the flop if an ace doesn't appear? Smooth call preflop and bet the size of the pot on the flop? What is the best way to get the money in this type of situation? Thanks

Kings are worth a little more than what an all-in preflop will get you in this spot, unless you think they'll call with a worse hand.

Played fine, be happy he called.

Um, I think not.

Then explain how you play this different

[Jason Strasser]

He folds preflop because aces beat kings.

Didn't you know that? AA > KK. And if you know an ace will come on the turn, and you have KK on the flop, you must fold.

you must mean happy he called preflop, right? his opponent's call on the flop was correct, getting 2 to 1 on a little worse than even money shot.

Yes, and the flop call was correct of course. But, there's no other play for hero.

clearly i have no problem with being a smug [censored], but the guy was saying that you shouldn't be happy that he called. do you see why?
