Default Re: $16 - KK on @$#$% A-high flop

'the thing is imo, that if we check and then call a bet later we might as well lead out and lose the money there'

Disagree. We are almost always behind when we bet this flop. If we check, it could induce a bet from a non-A hand reading us for weakness. It could also let a hand like KQ hit a Q and pay a small vbet off on future streets

'it s kind of a trade off between the money we lose by letting him catch up and the money we win by letting him bluff later on if we check. '

We dont lose money when he 'catches up' - his best chance of 'catching up' in this hand is when he 3 outs an A, more often than not he has already 'caught' or we are way ahead. I think we win far more by letting him bluff vs losing when he 'catches.'
