    Default $16 - KK too scared?

    I think a big leak of mine is that I am too scared when an overcard hits.
    Especially when it's an Ace (more likely in their range).
    How would you play this hand?
    What if button shoves on the turn?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    BB (t1460)
    UTG (t1260)
    Hero (t1470)
    MP1 (t3040)
    MP2 (t1940)
    CO (t1625)
    Button (t1465)
    SB (t1240)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Kc, Ks.
    1 fold, Hero raises to t120, 3 folds, Button calls t120, 2 folds.

    Flop: (t285) 8h, Ts, 9c (2 players)
    Hero bets t200, Button calls t200.

    Turn: (t685) Ad (2 players)
    Hero ??
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    there are a whole bunch of cards on this board there are scarier than an A.

    I would bet PS on the flop, then probably just commit on the turn. If you think he'll bet the flop c/push is good.

    Ace on the flop is much scarier than an ace on the turn when he's called your flop bet. I agree with drmcboy, on that flop I am betting 250+ and then betting like 500 on the turn and calling a push. If he had A8-AT on that board, called your bet and hit one of his 5 outs, so be it.
