$2 NLHE Full Ring: KK with three callers (similar hand to Alfies JJs)

Didnt want to take away from Alfie's post w JJ and 4 callers but I had a similar hand and wondered what everyone thought. Is this is a fold after the raise on the flop? Just sat at the table but the villain was 67/7/50 after 15 hands (not enough to trust the stats from what I understand)

Here what I was thinking throughout the hand:

Flop: KK is still strong although any player could still have weak aces. so bet for value. once the re-raise from the villain I just call.

Turn: once villain checks after the raise, I dont think I can necessarily say he has a weak hand because hes so aggressive. Check for pot control?

River: still having a hard time trying to decide if small bets are to get to showdown with weak hands like a blocker bet or if its to try to induce me to re-raise. Help here? Either way I think its more likely that Im beat by a set of 2s or 3s or a weak ace.

After the flop raise, I played the hand super passively but don't I want to get to showdown as cheap as possible?

Thanks for the help guys!

Raise way more preflop with this hand at NL2. As played with 3 callers on this board I would just check the flop back most of the time, maybe bet something smallish on the turn or river. Basically just get to showdown.

You can post whatever you like in my threads man

I like the way this hand was played. I dunno about way more pre, I'd probably make it 8c. Since youre expecting a raise on this flop (I would be too), bet less (something closer to half pot) as this will allow villain to play back at you with a wider range of hands, as well as just get to SD cheap. Turn and river wp IMO

Apparently I'm wrong but aren't we up again Ax such a large percentage of the time here that calling the flop raise isn't profitable?

I definitely like checking back the turn as I doubt you would get an ace to fold and nothing that we beat is calling a bet. After he showed some weakness checking the turn I'm definitely calling the river bet.

no, "villain was 67/7/50", were definitely calling flop. turn obv a check back and never folding for 8c OTR

yea, I just didn't think those stats had any relevance with it being 15 hands....although yea 67 is high enough to tell that he clearly is playing a lot of trash even if it is such a small sample.

Eh no reason to bet this flop 5way really (is it for value or as a bluff?). The chance that there is at least one ace amidst the 8 cards in peoples' hands is roughly 54% IF everyone is playing random hands. In reality players cold-calling before the flop at $2nl will have hands weighted more heavily toward aces anyway, so the percentage is most likely higher.

Agree with raising it up a little bigger pre, but don't go overboard - it's $2nl not play money.
