    Default Playing kings against aces

    My third time getting kings against aces today at the 6-max tables (the first two ended poorly for me, and in all three i have been out of position ) and I wised up.. well played?

    My plan was to fold to a large bet on the turn when the case king made an appearance. I put him on queens or aces, and figured I was behind, not sure why I called on the flop, just a stubbern mule I guess.. that and I had the kings of hearts (glad a heart didnt show up, he had the ace of hearts)

    Here's a bonus hand along the same lines... I'd been busting short stacks all day at this table... funny how it ended up

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    CO ($55.75)
    Button ($31.70)
    Hero ($118.95)
    BB ($44.50)
    UTG ($99)
    MP ($58.15)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K.
    4 folds, Hero raises to $4, BB calls $3.

    Flop: ($8) K, 6, 4 (2 players)
    Hero checks, BB checks.

    Turn: ($8) Q (2 players)
    Hero bets $4, BB raises to $8, Hero calls $4.

    River: ($24) 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $12, BB raises to $32.5, Hero calls $20.50.

    Final Pot: $89

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Kd Kc (three of a kind, kings).
    BB has As Ah (one pair, aces).
    Outcome: Hero wins $89.

    Drinking your milkshake.
    Why did you smooth call him with the Kings out of position Spino? And how can you put him on AA, QQ after just a raise & c-bet?

    Note the position he raised (UTG) and how much he raised (5x), and combined with fact he is TAG gives me the impression he holds a monster.
