500h sample i have him as an ABC player. i'm I getting myself in a spot I shouldn't or is this just a bad beat?

3bet preflop so u know where u stand and u make him pay to setmine.
U only 3b 3% so thats almost only AA ?

wait i'm wrong...wow, what? hell no....i 3b plenty of holdings- i've gotta look through my history...

seems too fancy play syndrome to be flatting the KK pre. Only time maybe it's ok to flat is if UTG opens and you are in UTG+1/UTG+2 where your 3bet range vs UTG would be super tight. You could probably flat in a situation like that also if people in position are probable squeezers. With this guy raising a few positions in and you are SB out of position with no squeeze behind potential I don't think flatting is good in that spot.

3bet pre ( not for the reasons rock2begood said though)

as played turn seems like a pretty bad spot to raise, there s not too many hands you beat that continue

3Bet pre
you can actually put in a sneaky flop raise now
You will rep nothing and your hand is very well disguised
On the turn though you are representing stronger hands than you actually have
Add to that that your opponents actually have completed hands that beat you like flushes full houses it will be difficult yo be paid off by many worse hands

thx guys, I'm getting back into the micro stakes after a few years break. Will be posting hands that I find myself in a spot.

3b pre.

as played i hate c/r turn. c/c and c/c most rivers.

As played pre, flop is a raise almost 100% of the time.


Even just thinking about it simply from Villains POV -
You should have almost no 4x flatting the SB, 77/44 flat flop, and villain will heavily discount QQ+. You will be called by much worse including hands like AQ so a ton of direct value and there are other Ax that fold to c/r but when you flat flop they shut down and try to get to showdown. It benefits a lot to fold out these hands rather than allow them to realize equity against you. Quite a few turns make it hard to get stacks in like 7x/diamond so raise for sure.
