nl50 KK on A high board

Hi

Could you explain your thought process here? I don't really get why you are betting the River in the first place.

Thanks.

Hi mbml,

To get value from JJ and QQ. But this is probably to optimistic because it's such a small part of his range to target. So maybe c/c or c/f are better options then b/f?
Flop is std?

Thanks.

I think he'll often have some AX that's worse than AK too so I definitely don't think you have a value bet here. As played you should definitely check and possibly call if you think he's taking this line often enough with some sort of busted gutshot straight draw.

Flop is close and I do think that c/c is often going to be a better option but it requires you to be balanced here yourself (you should check some AX hands too to protect the weaker portions of your range)
