KK, Defend BB from SB

Moved your thread yesterday to our hand discussion board. There fits it better.

I would size the flop smaller like $1,40 in position and around $2 on the turn with the intention to shove the river. If you over bet shove like now you get only action of better I think.

Honestly I dont think you need a lot of protection on turn. He had nitty range preflop, very likely his flop range is also tight and he has there a lot of better hands than you. Sets, two pairs and even a lot of straights as 12/8/4 player may not like idea of stacking off AK preflop even on SB vs BB. I would checkback and rely on him not turning hands into bluff. If he bets I fold and I wouldnt feel bad about this.

1) Pre-flop OK
2) Flop - very bad board. QQ, TT, 88 you beat you, So you are targeting mostly AQ/KQ/JJ/99
3) Turn - I would check backs and give up vs almost any aggression on the river.

I like betting larger OTF but slowing down OTT. I think shoving there is a mistake. Bet size 20-30% would be better or checking would be ok too. OTR we can give up when the flush completes.
