Hey Passiv,

Preflop 4bet is fine.

Shoving for value is likely to thin here. Checking back is the best option. If opponent checks again on the turn we may have a value bet. Vs a turn lead assuming we check back flop we may actually still be able to get away from the hand at some point despite the stacks not being that deep.

Hey Pasiv

Noooo mate, you don't ever want to be doing this with KK once the ace has dropped.

What hand's can call when we shove Kings on this board that we beat? Pretty much close to 0.

Think about aces and kings as only a pair. Sure they are great pre, but after everything can totall change.

Breaking this hand down

First i would say try and always have the maximum buy in for the level so in this instance $5, i know you are just a bit below it.

It's quite ackward here post flop because of the stack size, villian only has a pot size bet behind. Preflop, i don't mind 4 bet jamming. Actually looking at the stacks, i think that's the best line. At the micros when someone 3 bets, they are normally going with the hand 90 plus % of the time.

On the flop given vilians stack size, i would check flop behind. If vilian bets turn i would fold. Ace x is such a big part of his range here, he is going to check Jacks Queens etc. When we jam here, we can only get called by better.

If we were a bit deeper, and villian was deeper, we could fire a probing bet on the flop andfold toa re-raise. If villian just flats this bet, i wouldn't be putting any more money in the pot. UL though in the hand
