Re: KK...A flops, the usual
[ QUOTE ]
I meant we are not getting the odds to spike the K on the turn so why are we calling the flop raise?

Well, we're getting 12.5 : 1 on the flop call and we're 23 : 1 against spiking a king, so if we call, planning to fold the turn UI, we have to count on earning more than 5 BB on the turn and river when we hit to profit from a call.
It shouldn't be a problem to extract at least 3 BB, and add to this the possibility that our hand is good. I'd say that calling isn't all that awful.
Also, it's OK to make a slightly loose call on the flop every now and then, so people won't try to run over you. Bet-folding frequently on the flop could encourage the more aggressive players to bluff-raise you.
