Re: KTs , Insta call on river with 1 pair
most of the time you flop nothing.
you flop a pair 1/3 of the time you flop a good draw, great made hand much less often.
Re-raise preflop - we have position and this will likely narrow the field to HU where it's very likely that a flop CB will take down the pot.
If you aren't comfortable re-raising an unknown EP raiser who is raising a standard (4BB+1) amount (and who likely has more of a clue about how to play than your average 100NL donk) then fold.
the 2/3 of the time you miss the flop more often than not UTG+1 will bet and you have to fold and wave goodbye to 5BB.
I think a call here with ATs is standard (cos if we land a draw it's a nut draw) but not KTs (where only sometimes we get a nut draw - and on rare occasions we pay off big when we have say a K high flush and villain has a nut flush)
