I would usually call here. Most people with a King will check to the preflop raiser. His bet screams he doesnt want action and or if he gets action he has a draw to back it up. Again if he has a set of 6s to fill his boat, why not check to let you cont. bet. At this level of play, I doubt he is thinking too much of what you actually raised with and just figured a big push wins him the pot on the bubble cause you dont want to bust. Personally I bet he has a medium pocket pair and hoped you missed with your Ax and felt safe you didnt have the K.

This is such a terrible fold. You're getting pot odds of about 2.6:1 and ftdoc2b has already explained why you're probably ahead. Villian may also have flopped a flush draw as well as the lower PP he thinks are good. Even if you thought there was a 60% chance you were behind then you still should call because of the pot odds.

It's not a black or white question of does he or doesn't he have it? You need to formulate a range of the the possible hands you think he might take these actions with. Then look at the price you're getting on a call.

I have to admit that I have made a huge mistake in which I am more concern about if I lost, I will not be able to compete to final table at the moment!!!! Thanks!!
