    Default [25NL] - KK 3b Pot

    Villian is unknown

    I think everything is standard until the turn, I could 3bet flop but he could be c/r a worse pair with a heart and maybe not call a 3b/shove.

    I feel like when he checks to me on turn he has some kind of pair or a hand with a naked A/Q of hearts. Are we shoving or checking in this spot? I think if we check he could turn his hand into a bluff on some rivers or call a river bet off with a weaker pair which he won't do if we bet this turn. If we shove I think he folds most of his c/r range once he checks turn.

    Well, this is another interesting spot and I'll be watching this to see what everyone else thinks. The minraise looks AJ or set to me, I don't think he has too much naked Qh, but he can certainly be QhQx.

    Off the top of my head, I think I make a weak looking bet like about $6 which extracts some value from AhXx and also lets him shove with some illusion of having some fold equity.

    Easy turn jam in a 3b pot. Can't imagine him not following through with all hands that beat us.

    Don't you feel like jamming misses some value from his 1-heart hands that would either call a smaller turn bet or jam over it?

    Pretty clear we're ahead here and I just jam it in and hope to get looked up by ace of hearts. Villain has air here so much though that I wouldn't expect to get any extra money the majority of the time on the river, even if we check the turn.

    What one heart hands are gonna jam over a small bet or go for a turn c/c after c/r the flop, that wouldn't just jam the turn themselves?

    Well I did think some AhQx and AhKx could raise flop then pretty much give up - I think those hands might sometimes either peel to a smallish turn bet or jam over it if it's small enough to look weak and there's enough behind that they might think they still have some fold equity. I do think those hands are often jamming the turn anyway, but not always, especially since the flop raise was a minraise which suggests a passive player who might minraise a flush draw then just give up, or hope the turn checks through when he bricks. If the CO is a fish, a smallish bet here gets him to peel his flushdraws quite a bit I think whereas if we jam he might find a fold.

    Nobody is c/min raising AhQ or AhK on the flop (ie: no fold equity) and then deciding to c/f turn when called. They will either jam, or they have some hand like AJ/AhJ/QQ or something else that is c/c turn.
