pocket kings
When youve been dealt Pocket Kings and an Ace comes out Don't automatically assume you're beat once an Ace flops. If you raised enough, the only other people in the hand with you should be those holding Aces or other pockets themselves, along with AKs. However, you'll get a lot of people to call you with hands like QJs. Most people will dump their baby aces.I'd still bet out if an Ace hits - think about what your opponent might be thinking. You raised pre-flop, now you're betting like the Ace isn't scary at all - do you have a set? If you get called, I'd slow down a little. You may very well be beat. If it's bet to you, raise - see if your opponent really does have an Ace, and if so, how comfortable are they with it?
When the Ace hits on the river, I might check just to be on the safe side. If it's bet to me though, I'd probably call, depending on the amount of money in the pot and the size of the bet. It can go both ways when playing with Pocket Kings.
If you ever recieve pocket Kings however, Make sure to raise enough pre-flop that those fish with A-7 and other high-low combinations will fold those cards thus making your odds to win higher.
The kicker card is also a major factor in this hand, if your opponent is holding an Ace-7 and you bet alot after the flop, this could scare them out as they think your secondary card is better than theres.
Its a difficult position to be in, but the best way to avoid it is to just raise a decent amount pre-flop.
