How would you play this KK?

[doubleup]

Villain is 24/16, flop agg 5.  I have 2 choices pre-flop.  If I 4 bet, I take down the pot prob 90% of the time, but get stacked by aces.  Playing my way I can get bluffed if an ace hits the flop, stacked by aces or a set, but I prob stack QQ and maybe JJ, and should get a c-bet out of AK, maybe even a call on a good day as this player is quite agg.  Am I being to optimistic on the upside of my line? Am I being to pessimistic about villains calling range of a 4 bet preflop?

If you aren't going to 4 - bet preflop against a 24 / 16 with KK what do you 4-bet with? Exactly AA or air?

As played, call the flop lead. Widen his range and allow him to spew some chips at you by two barrelling; overvaluing some marginal hands. Your line is super strong and transparent IMHO. When people call 3 - bets preflop and shove on a dry board like this AA and KK make up a MASSIVE part of their range. By playing the hand this way you are actually making it possible for him to get away from JJ - QQ on this flop. Plus he just folds out any air he has missed with.

The games are getting more and more aggressive and the 3 betting range of 24 / 16 regs these days is generally 88+ // AQ+. Sometimes a LOT wider. IMO, I think your line is most ineffective against that range and makes you easy to play against if it is your standard - you would need to be capable of showing up with a lot more than AA or KK for me to like it.

I like it. Im assuming that you belive that he may well laydown anything but aa/kk to a 4 bet preflop, though i would start 4 betting a bigger range it this is the case as this is vastly exploitable, 24/16/5 is pretty solid stats.

This line allows to stack qq/jj type hands sometimes and definitley get value from a cbet of villans whole 3 betting range (ak,aq etc). If he has aa well thats the same result if we 4 bet and if he has 10's well thems the risks,ul. Overall your line looks more profitable against a thinking opponent.

Well why do the fckers instacall when I take this line with AK?

Hmmm might be something in this (I do realise that his range for 3 betting is pretty wide), but it's a different line of thought entirely.  i.e. it involves a whole 4 betting range and consideration of interaction with the villain.  I will have a think about this.

I like the line pre, but often id let him fire turn again. You are either so far ahead or so far behind to his RR range that jamming flop is -EV. Esp with this board texture and lack of scare cards available to show themsleves on the turn.
