sounds like you haven't bothered to read it? first, let's be clear: no-one is saying that 3betting KK isn't +EV. it has already been established that 3betting 72o is +EV. that's a fact. maths tells us so. also, our equity versus his 4b/fold range (when we plan to 5b shove) is irrelevant because we put the money in against his 4b/call range.

i already gave my exact reasoning for this. i flat ATo here because i think that ATo is profitable to flat against his opening range due to it containing so many Ax hands, and the fact that he will probably Cbet a lot of A high flops (so he often value bets for us when we flop top pair).
as for A9o, i decided (you can disagree, that's fine) that i didn't think it was profitable enough to flat, however it is somewhere near the "top" of my "folding range", plus it increases my fold equity against his range, and has decent equity versus his 3bet flatting range. as for A7o, i could see myself 3bet bluffing this hand for sure. for the same reasons i would consider A9o a good candidate for 3bet bluffing versus this guy.
that's as close as my poker knowledge allows me to get to a "good reason" to flat a certain hand versus a range, or to 3bet it as a bluff. what was your point in saying that anyway? do you know of more important factors to take into consideration in determining what hands to flat/3b bluff?
