    Default 20k guaranteed call or fold river?

    Felt really like a fold at the time but am not good enough to fold KK in these spots. What would you have done?

    Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 15/30 Blinds (10 handed) - IPoker Converter Tool from Play Online Poker, Site Reviews & Poker Forum | FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP1 (t3060)
    MP2 (t3090)
    MP3 (t3020)
    CO (t2940)
    Hero (Button) (t2890)
    SB (t2970)
    BB (t2585)
    UTG (t2925)
    UTG+1 (t2955)
    UTG+2 (t3535)

    Hero's M: 64.22

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K
    7 folds, Hero bets t75, 1 fold, BB calls t45

    Flop: (t165) 8, 6, 10 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets t120, BB calls t120

    Turn: (t405) 2 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets t330, BB calls t330

    River: (t1065) 2 (2 players)
    BB bets t533, Hero?

    Probally got the flush??? I'd have a hard time calling the river... Prolly after the flop call i'd check on the turn, I know you should apply pressure, but it smells like a trap.... He may of hit a set on the flop... to many ways to beat you, so the fold seems easy here.

    Umm, no. You bet this turn because giving a free card here is bad.

    Given that there's also a straight draw on the board a call isn't that bad, you only need this to be a busted straight/hand you beat 25% of the time and you're good (pot odds). This is about the limit of where you can take this hand in a vacuum, your reads on the villain + your own table image will take you further. It may be early but BB has already lost some chips, how did he lose them? If he lost them calling down then folding river, yeah this is a fold here.

    Definitely never check the turn here. It doesn't smell like a trap at all. Everything is fine, sigh fold river and make a note

    fold is probably best, but I would still find it hard to do.

    As an aside, if you know you are against a competent player who actually can find a fold here then this is a great board as the BB to check/call check/call with since there are so many cards that we can bluff at the end. Any spade, 7,9,or T is a great bluff card.

    Agree with Pascal , easy bet on turn.

    Chardrian I get you as well ,but think he wasn´t really capable of thinking on that level

    I don't fold here for this price without a better read.

    Depends on the player image from BB. Sometimes it's good to listen your feelings. But if he played few hands easy fold.

    Hard to fold this. Difficult to comment without knowing too much about the BB. Did you have any kind of read on him from previous hands, stats etc. Without knowing anything about him you have to assume he has the flushbut he could of course be bluffing. I have seen loads of players bluff in that situation when the hold the A. Calling here does not kill you. I might be tempted.
