The last 6 times that I have had KK an A has hit on the flop and someone was lingering with a weak A. Along the lines of trying to see the flop, I try to see it for the cheapest amount possable. I call whatever bet comes around to me or if it is checked to me I min. bet and see where that gets me.


No offense, but plz god no do not play your kings this way. You'll lose more than you win.

If you are afraid of a potential flop, then just over-raise at least and force the A-rag to pay a heavy price to come with. (I don't advise this as option #1, but it's better then just flat calling or min betting, especially if there are a bunch of limpers.)

Raise it up and get rid of the garbage hands- that's a hand you WANT to build a pot with. You'll make far more in the long run.

An Ace should only be hitting the flop ~33% of the time anyway, btw. 6 aces in a row hit the flop on your kings? just very bad luck. (And besides, who's to say the guys betting that flop have an ace and aren't bluffing at it too?)

Don't let the result of the hands influence making the right decision, which 9 outta 10 times means raise the pot up with your kings
