Re: not pushing pre-flop with KK
[ QUOTE ]
IMO your conclusion is right but your reasoning wrong. The reason to just call with KK here is because if you push then a decent player calls with AA/KK and gets away from anything else - if you call you can c/r all in on the flop - you still lose the same amount to AA, but win more more QQ,JJ etc.

this is what I was getting at....thanks for putting it so succinctly!
but what if you're playing against fishy players who will call an all-in with AK-AT to any mid PP? I know in the long run we're way ahead doing this...but is there anything to say for just seeing the flop against BAD players (not just decent ones) to lower your variance on being sucked on against A-blank?
