    No hindsight for the blind.

    Default 100NL; AA + KKx flop; passive line check

    No reads/stats/psychic abilities.

    My thoughts on this situation is somewhat equal to the "pocket KK vs Axx flop" issue; we want to keep villains holding QQ- in the hand while still losing as little as possible to Kx.

    Downsides are the possible straight draw free cards given to AJ/QJ/Q9. On the turn we get a possible backdoor flush draw as well. I think the typical villain holdings here will be pocket pairs looking to set and stack, though, so I figured let's try and let them bluff the river. If he doesn't bet the river I plan to value bet 7-ish.

    Thoughts?

    Yeah, I hate the Pokerroom software in this respect, you have to sit out and open the cashier to reload. So if you lose a pot you're basically playing the next hand without a full stack. Or you can take your chance and try to do it fast, and end up losing the button .
