Like to hear some tips.
of course you dont know his hand on the play  |
My main tip would be dont overvalue your hand.
You are still open to be up against a set, flush draws, straights.
So whilst some will try take the pot straight after the flop, I will merely bet a half the pot at the very most ( dependant on how many are in and how the flop pans out ).
If I have to I will lay it down. Discretion being the better part of valour.
As I say, too many people overvalue KK and will call any raise, even go all in with it, and it can seriously damage you if you arent careful.
So whilst its a big hand, you have to remember KK isnt the biggest hand and the more people willing to call you, the less likely it is they will hold up...
In a nutshell, tread carefully..
