KK vs both blinds on a 432 flop

KK vs both blinds on a 432 flop

$2-$100 spread. Blinds $1-$2. Effective stack $250.

I raise KcKs to $8 UTG, only the SB and BB call.

Flop: 4c3c2s (pot: $24, 3-ways). SB checks, BB checks, I check.

TURN: 4c3c2s 8c (pot: $24, 3-ways). SB bets $6, BB min-raises to $12. We call—would fold without a club. SB calls too.

RIVER: 4c3c2s 8c 2d (pot: $60, 3-ways). SB check, BB checks.

Do we bet or check back? If we value bet, what size—$20, $60, or $100?

Bet 2/3 pot, so it looks like we're trying to steal it with AK.

Not really expecting to get called much, but our hand is under repped enough that we can get looked up pretty light. If I'm in the blinds with 8x, I might hero-call you. I'm definitely calling if I got here with 99-JJ. At low stakes, a lot of players miss that their 2P gets counterfeited when the board pairs on the end, so you might get looked up by 43, or even just a non-believing 55-77.

Doubtful either V is checking a better hand here, the way this was played. If I was in the blinds with a straight or flush, I'd definitely be betting for value, when you smooth call the BB's turn raise.


What are these guys like? Are they trapping? Scared of a FH? It's hard to believe they are going to fold anything that beats you or call with anything you beat, so I probably just check behind. It's so unlikely you hit this board at all.
