Looking back I don't think BTN has many AXdd here as he is more inclined to 3bet preflop . Do you think my fold is too nitty or check-call flop would be a better play?

Knowing the amount of hands you have on your stats would be nice because I'm inclined to say BTN won't have a lot of Axdd post since his 3 bet is high, also 3 bet % on BTN would be nice here.

Really tough spot though, I don't mind folding this deep but I wouldn't be surprised if calling was also ok. 100bbs I would call flop.

This is typically a flop that missed both players and some players might take a stab at the pot. I don't expect him to show up with AX of diamonds here a lot after his call on the preflop 3 bet and re-raise on the flop. There are loads of other combos that might do this.


Would put villain on a range like the following:
AX diamonds (as you hold the K and Q there aren't many that would continue after your squeeze 3 bet preflop as it was a decent size bet).
AKo, AKs, AQo, AQs, QQ, JJ and ofc possible with lower frequency other hands like TT or KK


In other words I would call on the flop, if a diamonds comes of or you pair the board you can continue in the hand if he elects to bet on the turn. You have to be careful with this type of hand as you easily can be dominated so your goal is to keep the pot small.

One could justify a tight fold here but then again why do you bet this flop if you will fold against a raise. Might be better off to keep the pot as small as possible all together and just check call on the flop.

+1 to check calling flop on boards like this.

Thanks all,now I think check-call should be better here against good reg.
