General Theory - KK/QQ on Ace high flop

[Delphi]

Against one opponent I always c-bet here. My c-bets are at least 3/4 pot. Haven't really analysed, but I believe its EV+.

Your C-Bets are too weak. With 11 into an 18 pot or 12,5 into 21 I would probably raise you with air but at least call and float.

What would you bet if the flop was J high? Gotta be consistent and not show weakness. Make it 15 into 18 and 18 into 21 and people fold.

These spots are all quite player and position dependent.

But, let's say for arguments sake that a "standard" range to call a 3bet might be, say, JJ+, AKo+. In that case, the single biggest risk factor is going to be whether the flop includes another broadway card. So, in example 1 with KK, although he has an A less than half of the time, you are a dog to his range whereas you would have been a slight favourite without the J.

I would also be more inclined, paradoxically, to 3bet QQ than KK on an A high flop because of the increased chance of folding out KK. With KK there is a stronger argument for c/c.

So, of the 3 I would say only No. 2 looks like a good candidate.
