villain is 10.65/7.94/3.5 one of multitabling regulars every day on stars.
hmmm, he always folded to my 3 bet in history. This time i guess he got me but i still called his 4 bet preflop. Who the heck would fold KK on this BS flop?? It really came down to our reads on certain opponents, right?

I don't get it, why are you calling pf to fold on the flop?

Bad laydown.

If you have history between each other, then there is enough of a chance he knows your tight and is making a move.

Calling the 4-bet and folding to a push is really silly.

I think you have to push PreFlop.
11/8/3 is not a nit villain to fold KK. I might fold against a 8/2 villain and a lot of hands on him ...
The only reason to call a 4bet with KK would be to push/call a push on any non A flop ...

i was thinking about his early position 4 bet over my mp1 3 bet. This is not like lp steal or something. Guys, whenever i ran into this situation against tight multitabling regulars in early position, they had AA almost every single time in my database. yeah, i called preflop and just signaled to him
" i'm ready to call any flop shove". Actually, his flop line did sound to me like AA. In history, i NEVER 3 bet light against him and stacked him twice in BvB situation(AA vs KK, QQ vs AK). By the way, i already stacked off with kk vs AA twice since last week

If you're calling purely for set odds then it's a fold preflop. I'm not saying it is a fold preflop but set odds alone does not justify a call.

Don't worry about this. It does not happen that often!
Me, since the beginning of the year (35k hands) with KK I have run against AA 3 times. We have to learn to cope with this (I'm also trying too myself ).
Statistically, when you have KK every 24 times there will be someone with AA. Therefore, when you have KK you cannot directly think that someone has AA when they 3bet you.
Furthermore, this would balanced by the times we have AA and villain has KK.

A 10/8/3.5 villain could well 4bet you with QQ+ in UTG hopping that you could fold KK as he is 4betting from UTG!
BTW, I could see this villain play the same line with AK. If his aggression was around 0.7-1 then it would be different.
Villain possible thoughts: damm it he called my 4bet IP, flop has only low cards. pot is bigger then my stack I got to push as I have 25% of change of hitting an A and K if I get called!

Exactly. Why in God's name would you fold this getting 2-1 after putting a 3rd of your stack in on a great flop. His range is probably wider than this and you still have odds to call.

okay, guys. Another factor influencing my decision making process was that i tried to protect my good winnings near the end of my session and avoid tangling with these regulars. Dont get me wrong, i 4 bet shove KK preflop or flat call 3 bet and c/r all-in on any flop very often in my games.

I especially don't like the fold since he was obviously willing to go to the felt with less than AA in 2 BvB situations, one of those times having as little as AK. His entire pf range pushes the flop, so the only decision you had was pf, whether to play for stacks. You decided yes, so follow through.

Sometimes I get in these mental processes where I overthink things so much that I forget about standard ABC poker & manage to convince myself into a nit or LAGG...

I think you may have just done that here pokerfan.

I like what you did preflop cause it gets more value from JJ/QQ/AK on this flop. I'm starting to play KK in 3-bet/4-bet situations like this more often...

I'm just going to reiterate what everyone else has already said:

If you have history with this guy and 3 betting the crap out of him, isn't this a great hand to go the distance with? Secondly, do not call preflop with the hopes of hitting a King, your preflop odds are horrible. Thirdly, if you are going to call preflop, look to go the distance.

I cant stress enough that its not my normal play and how disappointed i was after this hand. I just figured that this strong bad feeling really influenced my decision in the heat moment regardless of odds, blah, blah. My original plan was call 4 bet and ship it on any flop.
Oh, well i changed my mind seconds before i decided to give up

Sometimes we make a bad play, it's ok. The important thing imo is that we can recognize when we do it and what we did wrong, then we can learn and move on.

Think it's time for me to start posting more hands and commenting more on hand histories! Thanks for pointing this out - and thanks for the comments on hands in the past. I don't tend to comment on your posted hands cos I think the gulf between 50nl and 200nl is too vast - maybe i should, starting to do so should get me thinking better again.

My goal is to get better, and I have a lot of room for improvement....
