Is this too weak?
Player seemed pretty tight. Didn't have a lot of stats on the guy. Hmm Deep Stack poker I have no clue how to proceed.

Logic:
He raised in position..I re-raised telling him I had a huge had (i think he thought i was tight), he proceeds to re-raise me. Now i'm thinking, "Ok I have KKs...i don't think this guy would re-raise me with QQs cause he's solid..I think he'd call..I can't fold here obv..don't want to blow up the pot right now so let's see a flop"

Flop comes out an ace....I check.he bets I fold.

Not used to these kinds of situations.. especially Deep stack. What are your lines on how to play it better?

Re-raise again?

Like I said I only had about 30 hands on the guy, but he was playing pretty snug.

Anyway thanks guys,

I guess you can play it this way. I just think you should push... You have 2nd nuts right now and no where in the hand are you gonna have 2nd nuts again. If he has u beat then its a cooler... I mean if he has AA and an 8 High board comes your still going with it.... Calling here is to either trap or give yourself an excuse to fold kk...

Any Ax, TT, 77, beats the KK, it is no where near 2nd nuts.

I like to hold all the nuts - CrownRoyal

Insta-shove pre or 5-bet him since you are both deep. It's a massive ev+ situation here for you, if he shows Aces then call it a cooler and move on, i'll almost never fold pre or flat his 4-bet if my plan is to fold on a A hi board except if i have a sick read especially that deep.

Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt
