    Default UTG KK on Axx flop

    Wondering how you guys rate my play. Was playing extremely tight and was hoping that my check here would look trappy and they would only bet on flop here with a A. When the second A comes though think Im mostly ahead but wanted to keep the pot small. River looks like a blank so I bet out for value. Sound ok?

    I personally raise it to 4x maybe even 5x pre flop, I hate seeing flops out of positions with kings when an ace falls. Flop is obviously awful.. scary for you but possibly scary for them. I probably pot the flop and then shut down after that, not sure whether that's correct or not. I can't see many people calling the flop without a big ace, so at least you find out where you stand early on.

    I bet the flop sometimes, but I'd bet the river bigger, at least 300. You can be pretty sure you're going for value so get the most you can.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
