    Default $1/$2, nuts on turn and TAG donks

    9-handed at Borgata.

    UTG+1 raises to $12, seems solidish/tight young player. Loose-badish Asian guy calls, I have KK in CO and pop to $35, everyone else folds, UTG+1 thinks a bit before calling, Asian calls. call.

    Flop ($108):
    Both check, I bet $50. UTG+1 makes a weird face, and asks, "50?" He calls. Asian folds.

    Turn ($208):
    UTG+1 bets $85, I have about $300 left and he has me covered.

    I thought a bit before acting, trying to narrow his range down. It really looks to me like he has only AK, JJ, AA and was trying to trap the fish in on the flop. But his line looks so strong and he probably perceives me as solidish so he might fold out AK/AA...

    What's your image?

    I think I call anyway.

    Probably solidish but also probably the most aggro player at the table, it was very loose-passive.

    I see absolutely no reason to do anything except call since you have position. I can understand your dilemma if you were OOP.

    Call turn, pot has $378 and you have less than a pot sized bet left. If he donked into you on turn he is likely to shove river with his entire range so there is no reason to fold him out. And even if he checks river then your just under psb shove will look like that's your only way of winning the pot and he will call with his AA/AK hands that you are worried he might fold.
