3 Bet with an overpair. I don't like this unless you have a read on ops. Of course, it was 25nl, only fish like rilla patrol those waters.

you dont like it, but would u have done the same as me? or mucked?

If I was in my "can't let go of overpair mode" I'd call flop and re-evaluate on turn. If I had a good read on op who reraised, I'd fold if he was good, push if he was laggy and would do this with a draw/top pair.

At 25nl there is no shame in going broke here. I have thousands of hands at 25nl and KK is good way more often than not.

ok.

well - he called flipped over 55 and then i sucked out on the river.

i would have called and pushed the turn

I don't really see the point, it's not like there are any draws on the flop other than maybe 78.

i am talking about from a value extraction standpoint

at 25nl i play KK like the nuts here every time.

A call only leaves hero with $9 behind in a $29 pot. push or fold the flop. This isn't 2 pair with a J95r board and a limp and 7x BB call preflop unless op is really fishy, AJ,KJ that think you missed and wants to push you off or a small pair that hit their set. With no reads, I think you can find a fold here but it's tough to do when you are on the spot and looking down at KK on that board and I probably push.

I like the play. KK good at $25NL on this board way more often than not. You definitely can't just call.....

You see AJ/KJ make this play against you a lot.
