I've been a bit disappointed with the available discussions in the BC lately, so I decided to try something new. I'm gunning for a "book club" type discussion (inspired by BigRed's work here). I plan to choose a "golden oldie" each week for the next little bit. I will post some discussion questions, and you can post your own thoughts. Let's allow newer FTR regs in first, especially those who did not see or comment on the original post.

For Week 1, let's discuss this oft-quoted classic from Gabe:

KK with an Ace

Check the thread - it's really good. The original scenario is an SnG where Hero has position and 3bets KK. When the flop comes Axx, UTG villain checks. Gabe's OP has been quoted in at least a dozen threads I've seen in the past year-and-a-half, mostly by the generation of regs just before my own.

Questions to think about:

1. Does Gabe's concept apply to cash games? If so, when and how?
2. Does Gabe's concept apply to non-3bet pots?
3. How should Hero react oop?

Much of what will be discussed here has probably been covered elsewhere on FTR, but lots of folks who currently hang out in the BC probably haven't seen most of that content and would benefit from thinking about this.
