Opp - 19/9/1.5 87 hands. Strange minraise from UTG and two kings on the flop made this tough spot, especially after reraise on the flop. Possible to fold on the flop?

Tough spot.

I wouldn't have played this hand in the same way, but as played, I would have fold to his reraise flop cause it smells nuts here.

If you push, sometimes he will show JJ (rare) QQ (possible) and AA (possible). I guess as it's NL10 there's some bluffs (strange hands) on his range, but still i really think you don't have the pot odds with you for a push flop. I prefer fold and keep my 25bb left safe in my pocket.

So, KK or AK? One cent on KK.

I'll reveal this hand after judge evaluation.

Hey guys,

I really think we can never consider folding our Overpair on such a board. The two K on the flop make it less likely that opponent is holding one of them, and on such a board you'll see players getting aggressive with many PPs, FDs and even a 7. I'd go broke with JJ+ for 25bb here.
