5/5 Live...KK on an Ace High Board

[MrFeelNothin]

I'm checking this flop and calling any turn and river bets against this villain.

If you bet the flop there is no way you are squeezing anything out of any hand you beat even if the villain is extremely loose. That flop just kills every hand that doesnt have an A when he considers your preflop reraising range. (likely JJ+, AQ, AK?)

I would prefer to check and let him try to bluff at it, likely he will fire the turn and give up on the river. Also, if he does have the A, with a weak kicker he probably won't be shoving it all in because he will be afraid you checked behind on the flop with a near nut hand. (AK or AA.)


Anyways, that flop sucks but against this villain I still want to squeeze some value from my KK and I think the best way to do this is check the flop and check behind the turn as well if he checks to you again.
