Too weak with KK?

Villain is Vpip 11,aggression factor 1.5 over 300 hands.

In plain words, he is as tight as they come and generally careful postflop.

Given his stats I don't think you played it too weak. If you raise the turn, its very likely he will 3-bet and you would still have to call on the river.

Looks about right to me. So did he have aces?

You gave the correct amount of action given the info you had.

Thanks for the replies all. I was abit uncertain about this hand when I reviewed it in PT, so nice to get some feedback. Smile

Villain showed A Heart A Spade.

I guess we all agree. But the main issue like arras pointed out is raising a better hand will only gain one bet, raising a loser will usually cost two. So you'd have to be roughly 66% certain you were ahead to raise. After the PF cap and flop 3-bet that's not likely.

Excellent point that.

This limit stuff is trickier than it seems. I'm still having problems with spewing on the turn and river, but atleast I'm learning.

Yeah, this wasn't one of those times. You played it about as well as you could. Expecting AA, praying for QQ. Smile
