What's behind your small flop bet? Is it only because the board is so uncoordinated or do you always c-bet for half pot?

def raise river here, not only is it HU, but it's a blind battle

your hand has that classic "bluff" feel to it, bets sort of weak on the flop scared of the A, feels kind of better when he checks turn, then pops the bluff on the river

This exact thinking actually made me think about a push. But I settled on 160. Anyone like a push?

i think a lot of players are too weak/passive to pay off a push with any A with a kicker below a 9. they might pay off with AT-AJ, but then that's marginal at best.

if you have a history, or have been playing VERY aggro, then a push can be ok.

turn check is nice, it sets up for a fun river. letting him off for that cheap with a hand as strong as yours is not good with how its played.

I prefer to check flop over check turn. (Heads up in position on a drawless board)
I hate to bet flop and get check/raised (the dreaded check/minraise).

I normally call here, but I can see you are just itching to raise :-).

How does everyone play KK here postflop? I'm always left wondering what heat a weak ace will take and if I decide to take him off it, what would be the best way.
