KK vs A high flop

Results 1 to 10 of 10

    Default KK vs A high flop

    BB is 51/14 fish over 50 hands. Low fold to cbet (33% over 6 hands). Donkbet 33% over 3 hands before this one.

    I don't know what to do here really. Donkbet usually represents top pair, and there is also flush draw on board. I don't really feel like raising here ever. But his bets looks pretty weakish. River completes flush draw and his bet looks kinda scary, I don't think I can call here.

    Suggestions on better play?

    Hi again, the A on the flop was your worst nighmare, his donk bet (even though he did it previously) should have done you a favour, your better off giving it up.

    You'll catch this fish another hand.

    i think i'd peel the flop given the price + backdoor nut flush draw + fish donk air a lot (although more commonly with missed Ax hands on non-A-high flops). that said, i don't know what my plan is facing a bet on non-heart/K turns.

    also, yeah don't raise the flop. seems to just fold out any air or 7x he may have and narrow his range down to hands which do pretty well against us.

    getting reemed by fee hikes, ca
    not folding flop, not folding turn as played.
    i think the hands fine if you fold river..his sizing on previous streets makes me think hes got a draw/combo draw, not an ace...rivers a pretty bad card for you etc...

    maybe try reraising the flop, then you know for sure if he has an ace or better, if he has weak ace, low pocketpair or a chase, that may fold him, otherwise be prepared to fold and not pay anymore...

    Wat?
    By raising the flop what better hands that he could have will fold? What worse hands will call?

    This is brilliant. Everyone always says that everywhere. Gotta put bumper sticker on my monitor with that two questions and go with them through every session. Sky high winrate.
