How do you re-act when A's land on the flop, when you are holding KK?

it is usually a strong game and leads you to neither reciocinar much. But what would you do if you were on the flop of an Ás, would you keep increasing in a strategy? you have the pairs with strong cards but your opponent counts to bet to see, until he gives an All in.
What do you do now ?

Hi I will try and help you with your English and translate what I think you mean. Okay. You are playing in a very hard table, and you don't know your opponents very well, not much information on any of them. You are seated with KK pre-flop you have bet-out and received one caller? The flop lands showing either 1 or more Aces. How to you proceed, do you continue with your normal strategy, that you would have for KK or do you change your action/ bet amount? If you continue, and say bet 1/2 pot, and he raises all-in what do you do?

I hope this helps. I do apologise if it is not what you mean't.

What?
 
You mean what to do if you have KK, an A comes up on the flop, and the villain shoves?

Tough one. I would be worried, but folding KK is not easy.

Is tru, you are certo . Not is easy
 
Well, with KK, I'm very offensive, usually raise, raise, call, but it depends on the flop of course ... if you drop an A at the table do not feel threatened, increase if you hear or re-raise call and move on !! (an option subject to change due to position on the table analysis of villains and everything else ^^.)
 
what is the pre flop story?

what are the villain stats?

how are the betting story before villain shove?

how many players left to act after us?

hows the stack to pot ratio?

with no/little info, folding isnt that hard i guess
 
Depends, if the villain is short staked and the flop is a rainbow i would be incline to believe he has an A and i would fold, if he has a normal stack and the flop comes with two cards of the same suit or A Q/10 X i would call.
 
I would place a sizable bet after seeing the ace on the flop. If he comes in the I would be cautious. If he raises then I would head for the hills and fold.
 
In Omaha I just let it go.In Hold'em if I am in position I call the flop,it really depends on what type of play my opponet is...there are guys that never let go of a pair of aces.
 
It's really rough when OOP with them KK and that ace comes. Depends on opponent.

If there are 2 aces on the flop I'd feel more comfortable (but it is still uncomfortable) calling an all in since villain would more likely try to slow place trip aces. Chances are, I'd likely still fold if I had no info on the villain.

Generally I try to rep that ace but slow down if I face opposition.

Just gotta raise aggressively preflop to hopefully push out the ace rags garbage.

Yep, better safe than sorry. It's like when you have AA and the flop comes 279 rainbow. Better give up as they might have a set.
 
On the flop соn-bet, on the turn - check. Switched to pot-control, did not create a large bank. On Rereise - fold
 
I get stuck in these positions too.

Assuming we know barely anything about villain:

If I re-raise to 9BB and villain calls (usually only one calls), I imagine he most likely has a pocket pair and is looking for a set.

AK possibly. So chances he's holding an ace is kinda low (AA would go 4-bet pre flop)

In micros if villain checks to me I play a sizeable bet - if he shoves and he has a large stack - I'd probably fold. Generally at micros a shove usually means the villain is confident in their hand - bluffing is a lot rarer.

If he's shortstacked and checks first and then shoves he looks desperate/tilting so I'd usually call.

Out of position - if he bets - I'd look at the bet size - half pot bet I might just think he doesn't have the ace so I'd call. If he shoves - I'd fold.

This probably has a lot of flaws lol - still at 5nl 😛
 
It is really hard to say. It depends on how everything goes preflop. It happens something different to me in a tournament. KK preflop In position and UTG raise x3 i 3bet and then the guy 4bet, then i realized that guy had a really strong hand probably AK AA QQ, but the Villain showed to be really loose and i thoutht he had AK AQ AJ TT and i called. Flop hit Q T 4 he checked and i went all in with 1/3 pot. Villain call showed AA. DAMN IT i was out of the tournament. If a would have saw an As on the table i would have fold. I probably should have fold on 4 bet preflop. But KK preflop is difficult to throw away.

Sorry for my English
 
Betting history and opponent knowledge have to be factored in. Tight player bets, I usually hold.
 
I run into that more than I like, if I see an A on the flop I with continuation bet, see what I can see from that. A lot of times I am cold called, then next card I will min raise, usually an A will re-raise at this point if they have one. Depending on my position is going to change my strategy slightly.
A lot of people will not fold A rag for anything and hope for an A on the river, so when one hit the flop it is real tough to have KK.

First of all, it is a bet of 1/2 pot, if the opponent goes all-in, an easy fold, if the opponent simply supports, then the next street bet is pot. As in the saying, made a fold, the money saved😀
 
with a hand like KK post-flop and having as community cards an ace x and the villain in his turn to move all in, you should base yourself on what happened before the flop, since we can deduce the hands range that the villain has, but if you see him playing and you notice that he is a good player or that he is a very rock player, you should keep in mind to fold, since a hand does not assure you that you win the tournament that will give you a perfect money section.
 
It really depends on the players at your table, the stack depth, the preflop action, the stakes you are playing at ect ect. Every situation is different. If you were the preflop raiser you will usually have a range advantage, and you block AK, so you can represent AK with multiple barrels, and possibley improve on a later street.
 
kk preflop

go all in, if you lose stay out for awhile buy more chips see how the cards are are coming before any betting.
