Default Re: 5CD - Keeping a kicker with AA ?

In any multiway pot, you never draw two to a pair since you
are trying to maximize your chances of improvement,
especially in making trips.

Heads up: if you KNOW your opponent has AA, then of course,
you should keep your king kicker. This situation might
arise if you raise from utg in 6max and a solid player cold
calls from the SB and you are heads up. This could also
occur if you open from the cutoff or button and were
reraised by the SB who now draws three. Even if there were
some chance your opponent held KK, keeping your king kicker
is better than drawing three. The problem from the cutoff
and button is that your hand is an open book unless you
sometimes don't cap with trips.

The bonus that was missed (although I don't believe in drawing 2 here):

When your opponent makes 2 pair, they are much less likely to bet into a raising draw 3 than a raising draw 2. So effectively, you are taking away the draw 3 bluff and the Two pair post draw value bet.

Personally, when I raise and draw 3 (in limit) it's like it's an auto bet to me. 'least, that's been my experience.
