Default Re: Situation I think I get wrong every time

Again let me preface this with a warning: while my multitable results since I started playing them in October are well in the black at ($10+1 and $20+2 pokerstars), they may not be statistically significant.

Having AcAs or KcKs doesn't change my play of the hand here.
If there are no flush or straight draws, AND I've got AA or KK here, then I might be more inclined to check behind and induce a bluff, continuing this play if he checks to me on a safe (i.e. no new draws) turn card. But it can't be a big mistake to try to take down a pot which increases your stack by 80% here, even if you thought your opponent would push in with a weaker hand on the turn.

Of course, my judgement may be clouded here by a tourney where I tried this play, my opponent spiked his set/boat on the turn and I called. The next hand I picked up KK and lost when I got four callers of my 2xBB allin.
