Re: Common problem: KK gets donked by an A-high flop
Folding might be best, but I might be inclined in some cases to call the flop bet and see what happens, reserving the right to fold if raised behind me or if SB continues to bet into me on the turn. Here, though, IF your read is accurate (despite sample size), your bettor probably wouldn't bet into a preflop raiser w/ A-rag kicker, so he may even have A8 or A2. But when I think my opponent may take a stab, or is weak tight and may be scared of being outkicked, I find that calling the flop can lead to him checking the turn to me. This works better heads-up though.
I also doubt that raising will knock out a better hand, and anyone you are ahead of is drawing pretty thin, so I'm not wild about that.
