    Default folded fh to quads and my thoughts

    Reasons:

    - I Havn't invested much
    - Its obvious I have the K; he knows what I have and I know what he has.
    - He has had a big stack for well over an hr (solid enough player)

    His situations (most likely to least imo):

    1) has the case 6 (note: he is sb)
    2) has the case k and is making a move where he may win some $ with a bluff instead of only spliting the pot (v unlikely imo at this level)
    2) is on some other all out crazy bluff (extremely unlikely by how ive seen him play so solidly).

    Check it out, maaaybe I could of checked behind the river - but i love the value bets. ... I think a fold is the right choice seeing as its either a split pot or Im burned (latter being most likely in my eyes) and most importantly i have only invested ~18BBs and have to call the huge overbet of 40 more.

    I think it was a good fold. Why are you not raising preflop? Next time check behind on that turn. What worse hand calls your turn bet? Checking the turn will do two things. It controls the size of the pot, and it doesn't give villian a clear idea of what you have. You could have had air and was just taking a stab at the pot on the flop, you could have quads, you could have a king, or you might have some small pocket pair. I can't see villian checking to you twice if you checked behind on the turn, so he will probably fire out some kind of small value bet (if he has quads) which you will gladly call and pay off for a cheap price.

    Nice line. I tend not to raise ak/aq in the blinds, unless I really feel comfy at the table. This adds some deceptiveness to my hand also, and keeps pots cheap where im oop. ...im a sucker for position.
