What do you think?

Call

You provided no stats on his preflop play but I'm assuming you slow played pre expecting him to ship it all to you with worse or bluff all his chips to you. I see no reason to change your mind now.

Completely agree with this. Looks like the hand went exactly to plan... it's a snap.

There are a lot of combinations of hands that already beat you, and a lot of times he still has a big draw w/pair type hand. With no reads it's hard to lay down the big over pair, but it is even harder to call a big all in raise on the turn with one pair on that board.

You should have raised the flop unless the guy is overly loose.

With the money already in and only 1 card to come, KK has great equity against the draws, even the biggest ones.

What combinations of hands that already beat KK are you giving villain here?

Hey,

Yea this is def a tough spot for me based on how I play, because when I see a strong all in on the turn, where the opponent knows I have odds to call, I would bet more than not that I am already beat, and than at best, if I am ahead, its against the big draw, which of course KK has equity against.

To be honest, I find it hard to give general advice on this because I only know what happens to me in spots like this, and its usually very player dependent.

Say the guy is a big nit, "Do I really think he is just semi bluffing?" is what I would ask myself in this spot, but if I had history with him and knew he was capable of semi bluffing and betting with less, than it would be totally different read.

Edit: And to answer you answer about combinations, its more that I wouldn't narrow down to say "XX of clubs", but that there are so many that he could have in this spot.

only played a max of 200 hands with the BB so no real style of is play is known at this point.

Would raise flop.

In that case,

4bet pre,

or after you flatted pre, raise the flop

Can't go wrong really as long as u don't fold. @cardxfactor, no offense, but ur long-winded , cloudy posts(u never seem to have an opinion anyway) really can't hide the fact the games have passed u and in today's games u are more or less clueless. This is far from a tough spot imo. It's a 3b pot btn vs bb afterall

So he is a regular, unknown, and aggressive? What?

I'd say "f@xk you" and 4bet his ass preflop and size it so that he thinks he can 5bet/bluff you.

As played, raise the s@it out of his lead on flop and commit yourself to stacking off. His turn CRAI is interesting. I mean if I was to slow play KK here I would like him to lead TBAI. That could be air, naked A of club with a pair or no pair, or mortal nuts(if it is, take note he did that because it's stupid). Whatever, break your mouse snapping his CRAI. Your hand should be good most of the time on the turn anyway.

If anything, I would be more inclined to shove against someone I'd pegged as a nit in this spot. Struggling to think of a player I'd want to fold against tbh.

4 bet pre, failing that raise flop.

Calling pre is fine because he should have a good amount of bluffs in these positions. I'd prefer to flat flop to let him bluff since even one of the worst turn cards like the 8c isn't that bad if he barrels.
