    Default Stars turbo $16: KK on a flush board

    The table was being very aggressive, so I tried to limp KK expecting a raise behind me - that didnt happen though, and I was well away that in situations like this you have to be very cautious postlfop. I dont know if I played the flop and turn right.
    On the flop I had a overpair and a K-high flushdraw, wich is pretty decent. On the other hand the blinds (and the other players if they were loose, I dont really remember) could have basicly any hand, and with this board that could mean a madeflush or madestraigh, two pair or even trips. When he just checkcalled I figured that he probably was on a flushdraw (or slowplaying), so thats why I bet the turn with trips and flushdraw. I checked behind on the river, because I figured if I bet, he wouldnt call me if he had missed his draw, but only call or reraise me with hands that beat me. I didnt want to make a bet on the river that would only make me loose chips in the long run.

    Thoughts?

    Downswinging holla!
    Any Jack makes a straight, along with the flush possibilities. The check seems fairly straightforward. Nice play.

    You have an insane amount of outs on the turn. You played it fine.

    If he pushed turn, I would have called.

    he didnt raise you on the turn, what makes you think he has the balls to check the river again in an attempt to checkraise you?

    I would be very surprised if he had a better hand and tried to check-raise the river.
    However I dont think you would extract more chips out of him, So the only adventage in raising is that you dont have to show your hand
