Default Re: KK...a thought process in the heat of battle.

I re-read SSHE discussion of the hand on pg 163. It is similar except for the flush draw. I’m not sure why the possible flush draws changes things. Flush draws are not folding anyway. There are several foot notes to the discussion. Footnote 62 points out that someone with a back door flush or straight draw is getting correct odds to call on the flop if you don’t raise. AlienBoy pointed this out two.

The more interesting footnote is 63 that says that “some people disagree with this advice”. It does not say who the “some people” were that disagreed. It is not clear if this means one of the three authors disagreed with this advice or whether other authorities that reviewed the book disagreed.

Given that “some people” disagree with this, I guess it is not surprising that there is disagreement here.
