Hello,
This morning I've been faced with this hand which provoked some up and low.
I wasn't on my computer so no HUD, but the game has been fairly tight on this table. I didn't go to any showdown, open raised some hands, with nobody calling, 3 betting some to see all of them fold, and being 3 bet and folding most of my hands.
Villain was no different than the table. The hand just before this one, I already 3 bet him, and he folded.
The very next hand I'm dealt KK and once again villain raised 3BB. So I re raised him to 9BB, and this time he called. His range is pretty unknown but the table having been tight, 66+ KQs+ AJ+. And probably no pair higher than TT, which would have 4bet.
The flop is pretty cool for an overpair, no draw expect a remote strait possibility, and maybe a set of 6 or 7. So standard CBet half pot which is called.
And then come the dreaded card. I hesitated a little, but I thought my hand was too good to check now and show weakness, where I might be faced with a tough decision if Villain decide to bet into my check.
So I decided to fire another bet of half pot.
Was it the right thing to do ? Too dangerous ?
Looking at his range while writing this post it seems I'm beat by more quite a numerous hand he would flat pre and call flop.
Maybe I'm assigning a tighter range than he really has. Your thoughts ?
