Hi guys, how would you play this spot at different stakes (NL2 vs. NL25+)?
Hero in SB with 55: Raise 3bb
Villain in BB: Call
Flop: KKTr
Based on what I gathered from upswing poker common wisdom is bet small (33% PSB).
But my gut feeling is bet bigger. My reasoning is:
1) Our range has a slight nut advantage vs. the capped BB range.
2) A majority of the turn cards will require us to check-fold if villain calls our flop cbet, (and a small flop cbet makes it more likely villain will call)
3) Therefore I would rather just play my hand face up and bet a bit bigger to deny equity (and mix it with checking it down)
Thoughts?
