Default what\'s optimal here?

I'm not convinced this is the best way to play it. In fact, it may even be a horrible way to play it.

Alternative lines?





Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (9.40 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.70 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: (8.70 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 10.70 BB


P.S. Obviously I am not talking about preflop

I think calling down here is ok, because some people will play JJ or QQ like that with the paired kings on board. I'd expect to win this hand at least half of the time.

Unless villian is very aggressive, I'd cap the flop, then check behind on the turn and call/bet on the river. (Fold the turn if he bets.)

Sorry this was 5/10 on Stars.

Well it wouldn't be me capping preflop, I could definitely 3-bet though.
I guess, if he caps and bets the turn, fold.

After thinking about it for a while, yeah I was basically inducing JJ/QQ to keep pushing. Figuring I am way ahead or way behind.

The way I played it, or the way others are suggesting? I am assuming my play. Why do you think this is best?

Also for those who say cap flop, you do mean 3-bet/call/fold to a bet, right?
Villain would be the capper, not hero.
