Villian is 20/4/8 over 150 hands.

UTG ($24.15)
MP1 ($22.55)
MP2 ($24.15)
CO ($17.60)
Button ($4.60)
SB ($58.75)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, K.
UTG calls $0.25, MP1 raises to $0.75, 4 folds, Hero raises to $3, UTG raises to $5.25, MP1 folds, Hero calls $2.25.

Flop: ($11.35) 9, 8, 7 (2 players)

Despite the pot odds, I think I'm beat here. Thoughts?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Villian has Q8o, but is it still objectively good to fold (probably preflop?)

Didn't notice his AF....no, I'm not folding here when he's that aggro postflop. It's also a freakin' minraise preflop, so I'm not giving that a lot of respect.

Why are you not pushing this preflop?

If he turns over aces, fair play. But at 25NL worse hands will call you

No way you fold preflop, this guy is wayyy too aggro. Easy push on flop also, imo.

wtf? How do you consider folding this given the PF action?

There is $36.25 in the pot and it only costs $12.90 to play. Those pot odds of almost 3:1 make it difficult to fold even though there is a good chance you're beat. So no, this is not an easy fold for me. Depending on the opponent I might fold...but it would not be easy.

Does nobody else give credit that the villain limped and re-raised over 2 raises? 20/4 over 150 hands, 4% of hands raised? Come on... I think a reraise/push preflop is in order. That is...if you're willing to go all the way.

I'm with Warpe, it does look like aces...but I don't think I can lay this one down on this board as played. I don't like the flop lead either, either more or check.
Save your stories 'cuz they're all the same..

So what if his AF is actually 1.5, how does that change things?

Sucks ass, but when a 4%PFR'er does this I just might call for (marginal) set value. Him being so aggro postflop, he's probably gonna stack off every time my K comes.

As played I'm getting stacked on the flop.

With a low AF I push preflop (as he won't bluff his stack to me postflop when I'm good).
