The most interesting hand out of my coaching this week probably was the KK hand, you can see when using the link above

preflop:
i think its pretty clear that we reraise here with KK ...
dont want them to draw cheaply to hit an A or a set

flop:
i am up against 2 players and its an A high board
both opponents checked

i prefer to check behind in those spots because no A will fold on the flop but every weaker hand (small PP, any ten ...)
on the other hand its possible that i induce a bluff on turn/river by that play

turn:
both players check and now it becomes difficult

do we want to bet or check behind?

pro bet:
- we protect against a flush
- we protect against a 2 outer
con bet:
- both checked twice that means very often that they are not willing to go on playing their current hand ... we will not get value out of worse hands except a flushdraw ... maybe
- its possible they think its very weak to check behind twice and try to steal the pot on the river (that works more for theinz cause he got an infinite agression
- its possible they checked a weak ace twice (that works more for holloway with 0.8 agression), then we should try to keep the pot small if possible

i decided to check behind because its not very likely they got a FD in a reraised pot and in case they got 5% to win with 2 outs ... well that just does not happen often enough that they hit

river:
mr.waytoomuchagression bets and i called because i think its often enough a pure bluff bet to steal

marginal EV, but i usually bet the turn. checking is also fine.

i would bet the turn for value and to protect vs any T, any 9, possible holdings like QJ gutshoots like KJ and the flushdraw and other pocket pairs and check behind the river.
dont think that any player on a 11$ sng would check the A twice after wie checked behind the flop.


nh imho. I'd play exactly the same way.
