200 NL: KK 150 bbs deep

[TrAdam5]

Alright, so soccertease from the limited sample size I have with him ( around 100 hands or so) is best described as tight/aggressive. He hasn't got out of line so far and is one of (if not the) best players at the table from a small selection of hands. I am in the midst of a big downswing (6 buy ins total, im down a buy in and a half at this table when my set got beat by runner runner boat, 1st and 3rd pair< top two, and my set lost to a turned straight). So my psyche at this point, even though I feel pretty emotionally keel, is definitely a little shaken, and I think that I may have been assuming the worst here, thinking I must have got coolered again. I have been floating a fair amount on soccer, but really haven't been reraising very much pre, and his small reraise postflop kind of scares me. I just call, not wanting to let a qq or jj or another weaker hand off the hook. For some reason though, his play on the flop just seemed very aggressive relative to how he had been playing just decent strength hands (in other words, i thought he had a monster with a slight chance of a blufff). I did pause for a while before betting out the flop, but I just didn't think he would bluff me here for so much when I clearly had shown significant strength in the hand. Anyways, now that I explained my mindset, do you call or fold here. I think I know what most of you are going to say, but still am curious.

what range are u giving him? i can't see much other than qq kk or aa.

[EzDuzIt]

well if that was his exact range you should call.

it think you could see AK and JJ sometimes too here. or it might be more kk/aa only depends on the villan.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

Yeah this could be AA, but you were asking for a c/r when you bet so small on the flop. This just isn't the place to lay down KK, you'll see AKcc a lot here imo and sometimes QQ, JJ, KK.

snap call. like massimo said, your small c-bet is begging villain to push.

what's the best plan of action if an A flopped?
bet/call?
bet/fold?
check -> fold if lead into, bet if checked to?

TrAdam5: calls $36

here is my major problem.
What does this achieve?

TrAdam5: calls $36

here is my major problem.
What does this achieve?

pushing preflop gives villian the chance to correctly fold AK,QQ,JJ.
calling gives the villain a chance to mess up AK/QQ/JJ on the flop that flopped.
