Hi,
I just have a strategic discussion with some french player. I'd like to have other point of view as we disagree ;).
Here is the general situation.
We have KK and we raise PF. The BB calls or we raise one limper. The flop is HU and we are in position.
Board Axx, no draw.
Villain donks, hero ?
I argue this was a wa/wb situation. A good player argues for a flop raise.
Another more specific situation: The PF action is the same but the board is A:d 8:d T:d. Villain donks, hero has KK no diamond ?
I guess this 2nd one is a bit closer between call and raise flop, but I prefer to call flop/raise turn for free showdown on a safe turn card.
