I agree. From now on, when I cap w/ KK pre-flop, I am going to bet the flop.

Hi Scott,

"When you consider the high percentage of holdem profits that come from big pairs ..."

Could I add one little thing here which is that for a winning B&M limit-hold'em player, almost none of his earn comes from what he does with KK before the flop, or from what he does with KK on the flop when no ace flops, and that's because it's almost never right to call or fold before the flop with KK, and almost no one does, and it's almost never right to fold on the flop with KK when no ace comes, and almost no one does. So KK before the flop and usually after the flop is a huge tie.

Hi Tommy,

I'd disagree only in that I think he's losing a lot of 'earn' by not betting this flop with KK, but that's not really what I meant. I was referring to playing your best hands in a manner that allows you to make the best decisions as the hand continues (which in this specific case is betting the flop).

Especially in B&M games, playing in such a way that your reads on later streets are most reliabale must have a significant positive impact your earn.

then why did you call? Twice?

and, it's not that I think UTG is bluffing, per se. But he certainly could be betting a hand that you can beat. The pot is huge, I think folding your reasonable hand is out of the question, as it will easily be good enough of the time to be profitable in the long run.

and another thing. if your reads on the two opponents on the river are so good, then why even post the hand at all, as it's way too player dependant for us to even comment on?

well that's the reason this post was adressed to Tommy and sometimes certain questions just can't be answered.
