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

I raise the flop for two reasons:

1. He might not bet out on the turn for various reasons. Someone behind you might raise if you just call, freezing him up on the turn. Or even if it just goes one bet, he still might freeze up.

2. The pot will have 23 bets in it if you raise, and callers will be being offered 11.5:1. One type of draw does not have odds to call that; pocket pairs. Another type of draw is on the fence and might fold; lonely aces.

Those two factors make me raise the flop.

As for the turn....man it sucks to not be able to call that down, but you're NEVER good here.
