    He obviously felt you were bluffing and took a gamble and called. Hes not an idiot nor is anyone who plays poker. They pay their money and can play the game/hand anyway they want, in my humble opinion.

    I've edited the name of the thread as the previous title was:

    a) Breaking the lobby layout
    b) Totally uninformative.

    Please try and name your posts properly, even if it is just a bad beat.

    P.S Totally standard play with KK here. You c-bet the flop a high enough % of the time on the flop for it to be call and reassess on the turn, especially as you only 1/2 pot it. 

    When you fire the turn, what are you trying to rep? Ax-Jd? TBH you should check behind on the turn having been called on flop. His mistake IMO is that he should jam the turn himself while he still has some fold equity and some outs too.

    In that case, you kind of have to think about which Xd you are repping. If it's any worse than say the Td, there's a decent chance he's in the hand/giving action with either a A-Xd combo where the diamond is bigger, or a pair such as QQ or KK with a diamond in there too.

    Nothing wrong with trying to rep it, but I just think it's a bad spot to do it as in a lot of cases you're repping the hand you're facing.

    P.S Calling other players idiots isn't really cool, especially as I would have played the KK the same way here :P
