Who is correct?
Ok here's the scenario:
Blinds are at 50/100. hero has 4k and villain 6k.
Villain has been standard - not overly aggro but not a total nit over our small sample size of 40 ish hands. He raises to 300 from the CO.
Folds to Hero who has :Qd: :Qc: in the BB.
Hero raises to 900 and the villain calls.
Flop comes :Kh: Pot has like 2k, hero now has about 3k and villain 5k.
Hero checks, villain shoves, and hero feels foolish after calling and villain shows :Ad: :Ks:
Hero then tries to convince me that he now thinks the correct way to play this hand is to smooth call pre, donkbet any flop and fold to a raise on a flop with A or K. I tell him he's being results oriented, that he's losing value to lower pairs by playing this way and getting bluffed by hands that he is beating. He responds that he's still stacking lower pairs on non-A or K flops, that 3 betting is often forcing smaller pairs out, and that he is now beating AK 2/3 of the time rather than 1/2 the time because he is forcing AK to only see 3 cards rather than 5 (which is what happens when AK makes the standard play by shoving against his 3-bet pre).
Who is right?
And more importantly - why?
