Villain is an unknown I just sat down a few hands before this.
4-bet pot we are Pre-flop aggressor. on the flop I choose to check because KK is marginal on A-high board and we would be in bad shape if called and we would rather keep pot control. On the turn villain bets pot. I am not sure if villain is doing this to attack my checking range or because he has a big hand, to me it doesnt make sense for a big hand to bet pot on such a dry board and thought maybe villain is turning a hand like QQ,JJ,TT into a bluff trying to rep the A. I am ahead of his PP turned bluff but behind to any ace however a 2nd ace on the turn does make it more difficult for villain to hold an Ace and what does he expect Hero to call with here on the turn for a pot sized bet if he does hold an ace?
I was very confused here and was started thinking about MDF because I don't know villain, if villain bets pot on the turn our MDF is like 50% meaning I have to defend half my range and I thought KK was definitely in that defending range. River was a blank and villain jams. The pot is 4.50 and 1.50 to call so I'm getting 3:1 I feel like if he turning his weaker PP into bluff I have to call. What do you think about the hand ?
