Brain Fart @ d Turn?

FullOf..IT

Villian ($95) has only sat down (15 hands), no previous stats on him.

In the CO he raises to 3.48. I re-raise to 8.46 in the sb with KK.

He Calls

Flop ($19) [ 7h, 5h, 8s ]

I pot it, he calls.

Turn ($58) [ 6d ]

I check, he bets 20 and I call

River ($100) [ Jc ]

I check again, he bets 27.

Dumba$$ calls.

He got [ 7s, 6s ] for 2 pair.

I think I should have dropped this at the turn but id like some thoughts on the hand in general.

Gracious...

Not much you can do when Villain hits a big hand like this. On a board like that I would tend to bet less than the pot on the flop because AK-AT or KQ/KJ type hands will fold to a $14 bet as well as a pot bet.

When he calls the flop, the turn is a terrible card for you. Any hand he calls the flop bet with (apart from TT-QQ), has likely improved. I always try to remind myself that AA/KK is only one pair and sometimes you have to fold and move onto the next hand.

Your biggest mistake here was not reraising to an integer pf. Prefably one around the 11 or 12 dollar mark.

Other then that I think it's ok. It's just one of those hands where you wish he'd bet more so you could fold.

Seriously integers!
