    No hindsight for the blind.

    Default Lost with KK UTG.

    No reads on Button. Someone give me a new line here please. I'm thinking maybe lead turn for around 1/2 pot and fold to a raise, check-fold blank river if called?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ 50BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    MP1 ($48.65)

    Button ($52.25)
    SB ($49.50)
    BB ($109.60)
    Hero ($65.30)
    UTG+1 ($9.95)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, K. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
    Hero raises to $2, 2 folds, MP2 calls $2, 2 folds, Button calls $2, 1 fold, BB calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($8.25) 4, 6, J (4 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $7.6, MP2 folds, Button calls $7.60, BB folds.

    Turn: ($23.45) J (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $12, Hero calls $12.

    River: ($47.45) 4 (2 players)

    Yea, there's not much here you beat. Diamond chasers only, because all Js just had a field day.
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    Yeah, what do I beat on the turn? AJ just kicked my ass, a set just filled up, AA still kicks my ass, and a slowplayed flopped flush still does too.

    Does QQ call flop/bet turn here enough that it is worth calling? I don't really think so. I think this hand should end on the turn one way or another, since any pot that gets shown down probably won't go to me.

    C/f looks really weak tight to me though, it sets me up to be floated/bluffed out of pots so easily. But then again I don't really think someone is floating me on this board, so I should not play sheriff here.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    Betting the turn and folding to a raise/shutting down to a call is another option. He could still have a lot of mid pairs (probably with a diamond), the bare ace of diamonds, etc. If we're called, I tend to think against most players the river will check through if we're good, but despite that it would be an obvious c/f to any sort of a meaningful bet if we don't improve.

    I don't see anything wrong with check/folding either. I may check/call against a habitual floater who will often give up on the river.

    Thanks guys. I think I'm going to go with a lead turn/fold to raise, c/f river if called line against unknowns.

    Against a total unknown I tend to pick my spots carefuly to play a juicy pot. Hence, I give this guy a donk mulligan and just c/f.
