kings flatted pre to induce, but... postflop?

Agree with the above posts. Gotta 3bet and defo can't fold for this price when there are a reasonable amount of situational combos where we crush both players.

OK, so basically we should never flat KK+? Serious question too. I just think from time to time(1%) it's good to flat. it can really screw with a villains head when we showdown.

IN davens denfense. If he is still putting in the kind of volume he was in the winter. Then i wouldn't even say he's making a huge mistake. idk, maybe i'm wrong. HIs post flop strength helps a bit though right?

I think vs. the 38-11 who has won 20 hands without showdown we're in good shape on the turn, and since we're in stealth mode mp1 can have a ton of middling pairs he called the shove with.

There are certainly situations where it's good to have KK+ in your flatting range at least some percent of the time. Consider, though, that:

1) The PFR is a bad player. These means A) We get so much value from 3b'ing him, and B) he's probably not thinking intelligently enough about our range for range deception to really matter at all.

2) The reason that daven gave for flatting centered around someone who was left to act who plays 14% of hands. The logic of that should be very obviously problematic. If it's close between flatting and 3b'ing for value, then the fact that the 14-12-6 left to act can squeeze light might be a tiebreaker (eg: opener is a nit who only continues with premiums), but in most situations, that factor's just gonna be a laughable rounding error.
