25nl: KK c-r flop, easy fold?

4th hand at this table so villian is unknown. Im fairly sure this is a easy fold but im doubting alot of my decisions latley so I thought id post it here and see what everyone else thinks.

Why would it be an easy fold? Flush and/or straight draws can easily take this line. You're ahead of all the draws, even the strongest ones like A5s and T9s. The only hands you should fear are QJ and 55, which is a tiny part of his total range.

Hmm i guess a fold is nitty then? This is just after moving up to 25nl (again..) so i guess I was playing tighter / more scard then usual. What line would you take then, flatting to see a safe turn to push on or raising all in?

Well I don't know what your usual style is, but I would opt against a fold here. I think a re-pop may be in order, but if you aren't feeling that confident then call. I think many players at NL25 are well capable c/raising a Q or even a J.

I think I'm inclined to call here. If he is drawing then, if we push now, he's calling with pretty much all of his range here , if he has draws, TP, or whatever. I don't mind a crai, as has been previously said draws make up a decent proportion of his range, but I think I like the call and evaluate the turn.

What is a crai?

crai = check raise all in

Even if a spade turn hits we can't fold... I get it in here on the flop fer shizzle. Too many scare cards can hit on the turn that allow us to talk ourselves out of our hand. Plus we has BLOCKERZ!!! So 9sTs has less equity against us than they think.

I'm getting it in now, like always. We hold the Ks so we have a backdoor FD should the turn get ugly. I'm never even thinking about folding this hand.

BTW provide villain stats next time if you have them.

same here

this may be QJ sometimes or maybe even 55's depending how opponent plays his sets but really this is draws a lot and AQ type hands
