Default $2/$5 King Flush

$2/$5 6 MAX -- 6 Handed

Hero has $424. Villian is a tight, OK regular. He has Hero covered.

Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on button.

PREFLOP:
Villian limps UTG, Hero raises to $20. SB and villian call.

FLOP ($65) 3 players:
J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Check, check, Hero bets $40, Villian only calls.

TURN ($145) 2 players:
9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villian checks, Hero bets $105, Villian raises to $220. Hero goes allin $364. Villian calls.

Is this OK? I felt sure I was behind to 66 or ace flush but can this really be folded?

RESULTS below in WHITE:

I don't think getting away from this hand is unreasonable if you "feel sure" you are behind. All told, you're getting less than 2:1 on getting your stack in. If you're behind, you have exactly one out that can save you whereas if you're ahead, there could be a lot of cards lurking in the deck that will make you a loser.

the villain being tight here makes the fold possible.

Its hard for him to raise u here with a hand u can beat. U have KQ so he cannot even have a queen high flush. I like checking behind and calling his river bet...this could induce him to bluff the river at you and also helps manage the pot size.

I think I like a check on the turn better.

I think the only hand you're ahead of here is T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (which most tight regulars won't limp/call with, esp OOP) or A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J. I think pot control is more important against a tight regular who called you on the flop.

I agree. Check the turn. You're most likely getting a c/f or a c/r.

It's a standard check behind on turn and call a reasonable river bet.

If someone is tight and limping UTG he has a small pair or AXs (Though some "psuedo-tight" players do this with crap like KJo). So since he called you on the flop there is no hand that you can beat. (Unless he limps SC's from EP, but even then I still see you losing here 9/10). This is one of the few spots you can lay down great hands with almost total certainty.
