Default Re: BB KK into a 3 way flop.. grumble!

[ QUOTE ]
I think you misunderstood my reason for invoking TFEMP. I wasn't suggesting that OP's KK is anywhere near as strong as A3 would be on a flop like this. But in the hand Ed Miller wrote about, a guy holding ace-rag did exactly what Aaron and Absolution insist a guy holding ace-rag will never do -- folded top pair to a single bet in a large pot. And this was apparently a common enough error, endorsed by numerous 2p2 posters, that Ed felt a need to get all caps about it.

Actually, I couldn't see any reason to quote Ed, so I defaulted to the side that it's usually quoted for and assumed you were using it to advocate a ritual calldown; in this case that was the wrong side.

The problem with the above line of reasoning is that Ed's post was directed at "good" players who were mis-thinking their advice. TPNK in a big pot is one of those cases where fish routinely make the right play for the wrong reasons, and Ed's post should not be used as evidence that poor players will fold it.
