The reason we dont cbet with KK is because it turns it into air. We are not saying betting this flop isnt profitable, we are saying it is not the most profitable way to play it. Most any time you turn a hand with as much value as KK into a bluff, you are giving up money.

Nobody is saying you give up, we are playing for pot control at this point. I hate saying the same thing thats been said over and over in this thread, but a lot of people didnt seem to notice it. If we check here with KK as well as Ax on occassion then it will not be obvious what we have because we could still have an ace.
