Default Re: Preflop: KK on the button

Overall, I can't see calling here as correct/optimal. I think we should see the part where you raise and then take it from there.

CO called to mine a set, most likely. We want the nit out as they aren't paying off our kings unless we both hit sets.

MP likely respects us and will fold to our sizable setmining-denying-odds raise, or if he has us beat will likely reraise us back and we consider the taboo of folding here. We also get more respect for 4betting into two raisers, so we might be able to give a potential 5bet from MP the pocket aces respect if we're capable of such discipline and if MP never gets it in with anything less than KK.

As for UTG, I guess we find out what the unpredictable donk does after we raise.

What is your image here anyways? Does MP respect your play? Been raising a lot or inactive? etc.
