NL20 KK 3 bet pot

Why 3bet him so big. He is 1/2 stacked so you could 3bet him to 10bb and get him in by the turn. Bet 1/3 otf, he either has the A or not. Check back seems better to me.

Agree about the sizings . If you 3b him big you make him committed.

Understood

Thanks again

I agree with 3betting smaller. Then I think we can check back the flop, call turn (bet if he checks) and fold river. Maybe we can bet flop 1/3 and fold if he raises. With smaller bets we would be targetting worse pairs.

I think we should cbet this flop. It hits our 3b range.

It does, but I think we can sometimes check back TPWK on that flop, so I don't see a reason always cbet kings. Even if we have the best hand, we don't have three streets of value, so why not to try to get more value (calls or occasionally probe bets) on turn from weaker hands.

With xc we do not know what to do on later streets.

I think we do. Standard is to call turn (bet if he check) and fold river (check back or bet if he checks, will have to decide).

Ace-2low cards is a board we should attack 100%. I do not like checking.

Agree with 3betting smaller. I think both cbetting and checking behind OTF are ok.
