$2/$4 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K:h, K:c.
MP2 raises, MP3 calls, Hero 3-Bets, BU caps, 2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (17.5 SB) 2:s, 2:d, 6:d (4 players)

Turn: (13.75 BB) A:s (2 players)
Hero ??

BU is a solid PokerStrategy TAG.

I decide to fastplay it on the flop and cap, as he could sometimes 3bet AK or AQ for free card. The turn is interesting, the only worse hand I see him calling down here is QQ as my flop cap looks quite strong. What's our line here?

I would continue to bet. I put him on TT+, AK and AQ of diamonds, so 5combos which beat you, 18(TT,JJ,QQ) against you ahead and splitting against 1 combo of KK. I don't think he will fold any pocket pair because pot is really big. I assume he has such tight range because you 3 betted UTG raiser + caller. I also don't think he would play like this with just overcards, because he doesn't need to clean his outs with AQ or AK, he has direct position over you so on turn he could charge flushdraw with 2BB if he hits.

Also wouldn't it be better to bet out flop? You prevent him from checking behind. You also can protect better if he raises you, because getting 3 outer to fold in such big pot is great result.

Hi!

Im for sure not checking as its totally unbalanced and tbh our equity didnt really drop much. There are only AdQd AdKd that has us beat now and AA was beating us anyway but combos of AA just decreased which is good). Aside from that there are QQ,JJ or even TT,KdQd that he may easily have. We are still favourites and we should bet.

My plan would be to b/c and then probably fold river if we really trust him to be strightforward but there is no harm in calling the river as well since if we fold KK then we basically dont have any hand which we are calling here.

i agree to dawnfall but i would either play bet/calldown or bet/fold the turn but turn is a bet!
