Not happening frequently in nl4 that you get to 4bet preflop and someone calls, but what is the correct way to play here now that flop completely misses? Can you cbet this with just ace high? Does checking make any sense? Now that I think of this, villain shouldn't have but AK in his range that he should fold here, AQ maybe, worse aces are unlikely so most likely hand for villain should be pocket pair?( (well, not in this particular hand as he folded)

iPoker - €0.04 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 100 BB
Hero (BTN): 109 BB
SB: 101.5 BB
BB: 130.5 BB
UTG: 133.25 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♦ A♥

fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, SB raises to 12 BB, fold, Hero raises to 27 BB, SB calls 15 BB

Flop: (55 BB, 2 players) 8♥ 6♠ 3♠
SB checks, Hero bets 27.5 BB, fold

Hero mucks K♦ A♥ (High Card, Ace)

Hero wins 51.5 BB

He is out of position postflop so its less likely he slowplays strong overpair preflop.
Big part of his range are A highs, K highs and no made hands. You have a lot more overpairs so its fine to bet, though I would prefer smaller sizing.

I think you played it fine, but 20bb is big enough to Cbet with in mind if you had a over pair you can still shove the turn with a little bit more than a half pot behind.

Cheers,

I think it is nice bet, if he jams you can get away with it (folding to jam). This looks incredibly strong and he will fold AK AQ AJ KQ JT which might otherwise bluff us out later... also 22, 44 he might fold.
