Spenda made the point earlier in this thread: the point is a hand where we have KK and we're way ahead / way behind which is typically the case on an Axx flop. In cash, we be the preflop aggressor with KK and get flatted. Generally, we're way ahead, but it's dicey on an Axx flop. When we're almost sure we're way ahead and almost certain some agro-monkey will try to "take down the orphaned pot" if we check behind, we can often make more by letting them bluff at it on the turn. Same basic situation, but an "increased earnings" application.
