. Ax is definitely playable from either blind and probably outside the blinds as well, although somewhat marginal there.

Are you assuming a raise every time PF from KK? If not, you should be, I think.

Huh? Of course I'm assuming KK raises.

Okay, then how is calling a raise with Ax +EV? A simple adjustment to the KK strategy of raising every time PF, but check-calling whenever an A shows up, means you will be -EV. The way I see it, going to showdown, Ax loses 2 out of 3 times. If you miss the flop and fold, then you're folding 4 out of 5 times, and losing $60 each time for a total of $240. On the 5th time, when you catch (and go on to win), you make 60 + 30 + 60 +60 = $210.

How is that +EV? Not saying your'e wrong, I just don't see it.
