Re: Are You Better or Worse Than Average in KK vs AA Confrontations
I actually think a distribution of EV in KK vs AA situations vs. player skill might actually be multi-modal (at least for limit).
A bad player will probably bowl through with kings and might even cap every street as long as there is no ace or scary possible straight or flush.
An average player will try to slowplay KK a lot more and would never cap the flop if he has an overpair, hoping to get in an extra raise on the turn.
A good player will lose more than an average player, but perhaps not as much as a very bad player, because he doesn't leak money by inappropriately slowplaying, but is capable of putting on the brakes at some point.
A very good player will lose less than a good player, but possibly more than an average player because he can slow down much earlier, and possibly even fold.
This is all relative, of course. A bad player who is weak-tight will lose less than a bad player who is loose-aggressive.
