Paradise Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed)

A fairly solid player raises from under the gun so i put him on AA-1010, AK or maybe AQs

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with [Ad], [As].
UTG raises, Hero calls, CO calls, SB calls.

After his 3 bet pre-flop i narrowed that down to AA-QQ, AKs
Flop: (17 SB) [Ks], [6d], [Tc] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, CO calls, SB calls.

His 3-bet of the flop kind of scared me, I really dont think this pretty tight player would 3-bet this flop with AK considering i 3-bet preflop and raised the flop with no flush draw thus i wasnt making a free card play. At this time the only hands he could have would be AA or KK or mayb 1010 but with the 3-bet preflop i doubt it. THe pot is too big for me to fold though.

Turn: (14.50 BB) [9h] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, CO calls, SB calls.

River: (18.50 BB) [8d] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, CO folds, SB folds.

Final Pot: 20.50 BB

Should I be playing this different? I will give results after a few comments. Thanx guys, limit is tough but fun!

Why bother, it's KK.

ya i know, after his 3-bet on the flop i knew he was going to show KK and win the pot and there was nothing i could do about it.

I'd probably raise the turn here to try and eliminate the SB and CO. If UTG 3 bets, you can just call it down.

I think it is OK to just call the 3-bet on the flop because SB and CO already called two cold once, so they won't fold to a cap. It will just make the pot bigger so they will be less likely to fold the turn.

raising the turn doesnt do you any good. All you do is get heads up with a probable better hand. Im not sure, but i would cap the flop. If he leads the turn i would call down, if he checks the turn I would bet and throw up if he raises.

If UTG is a donk, he could put in a lot of bets preflop with KT and then 3-bet the flop with two pair. Here we would want to fold anyone who paired the board so our aces up will be good if the 8 or 9 pairs.

But against a normal UTG, AA, AK, KK, TT are the most probable holdings.
