In this hand i open-raise KK for 7bb, since the previous hand I standard raised AK for 4bb and had 3 callers on a very loose table. Plus i'm OOP.

Stats: HJ is 37/13 in 39 hands. He has Aggression of 28% and hasn't folded to a flop cbet (only sample of 3 hands admittedly).

When he calls the flop, i still think i'm ahead and the plan is to value-bet until raised. He can only have QQ or Jx here, or possibly a very loose call with 55. :/

Hi,

Opening strong hands 7bb is not bad, but problem is what would you do that spot weaker hands. If you´re going to open these 3-4bb then I would also prefer opening kings 4bb.
Even if you´re oop, then kings is very strong hand and usually you´re fine playing postflop for stacks on most boards.

As played: I think b/f is fine, if player is not maniac or does not shove with flushdraws. You often see Jx, but if your image is bad or you suspect he might make some moves then I would most likely b/c.
It is not unreasonable him to shove Qx for value and there are two flushdraws which he can always shove, so I need to be quite certain on my read that he is only shoving Jx+ (which I don´t see him have too many, since you opened 7x preflop)

best regards,
