50 nl KK

I know this kinda scenario has beaten to death but I still am not sure what to do.

Villain is pretty tight, I haven't seen him do anything of note.

He insta raised turn.

Should I bet this flop oop? Was leading turn a mistake?

Full Tilt Poker, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 3 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

BTN: $52.10
SB: $64.60
Hero (BB): $69

Pre-Flop: K K dealt to Hero (BB)
BTN raises to $1.75, SB folds, Hero raises to $6, BTN calls $4.25

Flop: ($12.25) 9 A 9 (2 Players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($12.25) T (2 Players)
Hero bets $7.50, BTN raises to $18.25, Hero folds right?

I like the way it was played now fold. I might be inclined to check turn but not sure how bad that is? I'd much rather see a dud than a T.

Does anyone ever cbet this?

Yes, being OOP, I would cbet this a lot. If you check here with TT-KK, then your hand is prertty much face up, unless you frequently check here with AJ+, AA.

Against tight players I don't have any problem checking this flop. I also would also check some aces. Against looser or more suspicious players I would cbet. I think turn bet/fold is good.

i cbet this maybe 90% of the time, especially 3 handed where villain should be calling more 3bets, especially in position like this. as played b/f on the turn is fine.

I do this too.

It leaves me thinking though that I can't stand 3 streets of c/c with any hand when I check an ace high flop OOP, without hitting.

Is your plan to c/c 3 streets with the Ax ?

you shouldn't be overly worried about balancing lines/ranges at 50nl because 99% of villains aren't considering it.

It depends what the x is, how often villain 4bets, how much they like to bet...

IMO this is why you should Cbet. Even at $50NL if you check here you are letting him know that you either missed or are now scared of the Ace.

Your two sentences don't match up with each other.

Lets consider a totally different line: Call preflop then open-shove any flop. What about that?
