what does this mean?
did you click on the 'cheat at hold em' ad up above or something?

anyways, nh. maybe you'd articulate your thinking on the flop bet ?
if you're pretty sure its KK, are you intent on keeping him until the turn and then pounding it? are you tryng to induce a raise on the flop?
i ask because it generally seems strange (to me) when the PF aggressor bets less on the flop than the size of the last PF raise (in this case $32)...
i just felt like he gave his hand away to me, and it was one of those special moments where you just KNOW you have you opponent at your mercy because theyre stong but youre stronger.

flop. firstly, my pf raise was $20, so betting out 25$ was not necessarily 'going backwards'. but youre right, it can be/should be? a warning flag.

at this point, i assume that my opponent has to believe that i have either AA, QQ (or KK, if HE has QQ) or AKs. because i have the lead, i really need to bet out here because a check would be even more suspicious. i thought that betting out 1/3 of the pot would be a normal continuation-ish sized bet, to help him think i was more toward AK. i really thought that by showing weakness he would checkraise me here.

but im not going to make a bigger bet ie 3/4 pot that will inspire him to make a great laydown.
