Default Re: 2/4 KK faces a tough flop decision

Ryan, I'm not the wisest player, but I'll let you know exactly how I would have played this hand,

Personally I disagree with you, when you said tough flop for a KK I was expecting to see an A on the flop, there was no A, it was a beautiful flop for you, The fact that two hearts were on the flop, made it even more imperative that you raise BIG here. Only a set beats you, everything else is a draw, if he has AA, than I'm going to lose anyways, I don't throw away KK, or give free cards with it.

If he has QJ, I note that he calls big raises with inferior cards, I'm happy to give him my money, rebuy and build his sense of confidence so I can tear him apart later, I'll look to isolation raise him later and go heads up as many times as I can until I win my money back with interest.

KK, was obviously good here to me. I would have reraised all in immediately on the flop, and I wouldn't of hated it if they both called because I don't think either of them would be ahead in the hand, As we found out, BB was not ahead, if you make him go all in praying for a 10, I doubt he can do it.

Seeing that the flop has two hearts, i myself would have no problem re-raising a substantial amount on the flop. Maybe around 3-4 times the BB intial bet on the flop. Also, like mentioned above, why not re-raise the river also. Although, your play here to me was the most conservative safest approach to this hand possible.

Oh boy...

Well, if you are really worried about Mr. Nitty, then the call on the flop is reasonable. I guess. I mean, this is not what I would call a dangerous board with Kings, though it can certainly get dangerous without a nice raise to 80. I guess you wanted to keep the pot small against Mr. Nitty, so, fine. Or maybe you wanted to attack when a ragged turn came up, see if the BB tries to set a trap with AQ. Fine. I'm not a fan, but fine, fine.

Your biggest problem with this is that you are getting so little information about BB, and to some extent, Nitty.

On the turn, it's like "YIPES!," whatcha doing here Cochese? You have to bet out on the turn. I mean, like, $100. I doubt highly that anyone here is going to check with the flush. If Mr. Nitty has something big, you'll know right now because he's tight and is super afraid of someone hitting a full house on the river. If BB hit his flush, he's reasonable, so he's making some kind of bet to keep you away from the FH. Naturally, if either had a set, they are betting out. Time to finish things up.

$40 is a very squeamish bet, one that shouts that he is worried about the flush draw. Boy does it look like he has KA. Call.
