those things are hard to see and often you will find out the hard way, but sometimes you can see it in the confidence that the opponent shows out of nothing. Chanches in behavor. but he could have J as kicker as well. It can be hard.

hello .it is not easy to regognize enemy kicker....but when you raise a 3 bet ...
it is very easy to spot a great hand .I want to say that if he calls you ...probably will not have k 2 ......so you have to raise and see reactions of your opponent

It's difficult to see situations like this, especially against people you have little or no knowledge about. It really depends as said before on their (changed) behaviour, but that's a risk you're going to have to take.

Would you fold top pair, great kicker like that, especially when that pair is a high pair?

I think you have to try one raise for info, then slow down if you get called. It is a tough one to spot.

Say your in middle possition and you raised, now if the villan say is in the blinds and re raises you normally you'd raise like 5% of your hands in blinds, so say you hit a top pair on the flop , you bet and he re raises you, now noting ealier that you;;d only really re raise 5% in the blinds that be a good guess that he has a bigger pair,trips, or AQ ect

Staratsya not play with a weak kicker, if the play is to look carefully for the rival and staratsya understand what his card, knowing what cards your opponent, to win it is not difficult

I think it involves many factors, for example, what is the playing style of the opponent e.g. LAG would raise even with lowest kicker, and raise more than for example TAG who, like you is trying to figure out your hand :) My strategy in this case would by betting certain amounts, depending on the pot, and watching the opponent's reaction, having in mind his playing style :)
