Not trying to be arrogant, but understand I that it came off that way.

Just trying to say that with KK PF we don't have to raise 3x the pot, as it can force a lot of hands we have crushed out, thereby losing a lot of value. Chips not won are chips lost.

I would tend to agree--and mentioned it in my first response--that at this level Villain may be unable to lay down hands like A9s+, ATo, 77+, etc, so a shove may be the easiest way to get all the chips to the middle with the best hand.

However, it should be repeated that we should be thinking about maximizing our value. And shoving 3x the pot PF so we don't lose to a Villain with an A is seeing monsters under the bed when we can find ways of getting Villain to stack off here with way worse hands.
