Re: I disagree: here is why
[ QUOTE ]
just curious as to why you would think the diamond draw would call in a heartbeat to 75 more dollars but AA and KK only call some of the time?

If the nut diamond draw is out there, he's getting 135:75 to call (more obviously if the other player calls sa well). That's almost 2:1. Neither player knows that he's against a set, so they must think that they're a little less than 2:1 against with two cards to come, and possibly have some more outs if an A or K (or running As or Ks) are good as well. I think AKs or AJs often calls at this price and races it, not knowing that they're actually a 3:1 dog.
AA and KK call less often of course because its just a one pair hand and doesn't have nearly as many outs to improve. For example, AA is basically even money with Kd2d on the flop.
