You're right.  But Doyle doesn't say you're guaranteed to win.  Lots of people think it's an injustice if your AA or KK doesn't hold up, but the reality is it's SEVEN CARD GAME.

Besides, if you follow Doyle's advice - you'll protect your good hand and not give the opponent the odds to draw.   But if you follow his advice literally and go all in with every big hand, you're leaving chips on the table.  Your bet needs to be big enough so that you're taking drawing odds away, but small enough that you keep poorly skilled opponent in the pot.  If you're up against somebody that still draws against an overbet, they just made a big mistake.  They might suck out, you might lose this hand - but you should be happy to be in a game against such a bad player.

If you're suggesting you should go all in every time you get AA or KK, that's really stupid.  I see that move and it's just ridiculous.  Here you have the best starting hand in poker and you get NO VALUE for it?  You chase everybody out and settle just for the blinds?  You might be hoping for a call, but that will only happen if you have idiots at the table.  If you're convinced there are idiots, go for it.  But it's usually an idiot that does a move like that.

A bad player will try to win the pot before the flop.  A better player has more confidence in his post-flop play.
