3. When we bet the turn, since we already have 1/2 our stack in, we only need to be good 1/4 of the time on that board. We call knowing we are behind some % of the time to KK
+1
KK (3) 88 (1) 77(1)... = 5 combos that beat us
AA (6), AK (12)... = 18 combos we beat.
We are way ahead of his range. If villain has a set, good for him, but can't be scared when you beat 18/23 of straightforward range... nevermind if villain could have bluffs or a wider pre-flop range and some semi-bluffs in there (T9 suited)
