10-10, J-J, Q-Q almost certaintly plays back here with a raise. And 77-99 often does as well. The flat calls tells me paint, Raising the probability that it's not a pair, but infact, a king.

Obv. not everyone thinks this way, but there are plenty who do (including me a couple years ago). It's fully possible they chose not to reraise with pocket pairs here.

You're in a situation where you're either crushing your opponent or you're being crushed by your opponent. Everyone's criticism of your line is that you're folding your opponent when you're way ahead and you're giving your opponent lots of chips when you're way behind.
