NL200 KK 3bet pot terrible flop

The initial raiser is a 20/20 player. We have no history together at all. The other guy is a fish who we don't care about here. This board is about as bad as it can get for KK in a 3bet pot. Normally I bet this with intention of shutting down and check-folding if called and folding flop if raised. But I just feel that even though we have overpair and KK in 3bet pot, whenever I do cbet, I always wish I hadn't since they never fold, forcing me to give up and lose more money than necessary. Is cbet mandatory or can I check-fold this flop or bet turn if it does get checked around? How do you guys handle such spots?

I wrote something out, but then deleted cuz all I can say is RUSRS?...

U cant givem free card. If u check, they can trap u and check behind with set anyway. Just get it in, sometimes u will face set, but theres really nothing u can do with it here.

take your cooler nit.

Not getting it in here is ludacris.

Why is this a topic?

bet/call all day long

i like this flop a lot better then a A rag rag flop fire away! in FR it would suck a little more but i think you can feel pretty good about getting it in.

Seriously, outside of AQ, which I am not even sure he calls with PF, what hand in villain's range would we possibly be happy to see here? I mean you guys are so definitive that this is easy stack off spot, once we bet and are shoved on/called, what can he possibly have that we don't hate? Just curious about your guys' reasoning for this?

Even if we are an underdog most of the time we get it in its still +EV.

How do you figure? I am looking for a viable range here that does not fold to our cbet that does not completely dominate us. If we could put AQ 100% in his range it would not be too bad, but I really don't think it will be there that often.

I only play NL100 so I won't even try to advise, but I'm curious. You think you aren't being called preflop by anything but JJ+? At NL100 I see all kinds of players with TAGish stats calling 3bets with waaay wider ranges than that. If you get big action on this flop it's not only AQ I'd expect to be beating but various draws. Is your experience really so much different from that?

Once you put in a bet in this big pot you are getting huge odds to call it off, its enough for him to have AQ like 30% of the time or smthng like that, and also he can have draws and other random stuff too.Check calling is no good because they will check back hands with showdown value and most draws and the hands they will bet for value are gonna stack off anyway to your bet.

What if he just flat calls the cbet?

In fact, let's add one street:

EEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ snap butterfly call!

bet/call...

QQ JJ too unlikely

what hands in his range could d3vd3v possibly have here?

i'd rather have some one raising the flop and me calling rather than him flat calling the flop in pos. in a 3-bet pot... that call seems like he has a set and played it tricky...

bet/call, stand up and say "hello shitty winrate!"

qq/jj and my favorite... slowplayed AA yes!

now that ive read the whole post. bet flop 100% i dont care if its spewy, its the only way to get information. if raised, well flop is where you must decide to jam or fold.


fuck it's 6max not fr. sorry lolol

wtf you doing here? you play 25nl! lolololol!

The initial raiser is a 20/20 player. We have no history together at all. --->> get it in.
If you have some read like he will call in this spot only JJ+ ,it's still not a discussion.

I like you check on turn acctually, but how can you ever THINK about checking and then fold to a shove ?
