The only games worth holding KK55 aside from JoB and BP is 10/7DB & 10/6DDBP (and in some SDBP circumstances). If you look at TODAY'S play as some sort of lifelong theoretical obfuscation, then holding that hand when the FH pays 9 or less would make twisted sense. But if you play for a win goal and have the very unusual ability to just get up and leave after hitting or surpassing it, then holding just the K's is the far superior play--and something only a strong vp player would do.

This is yet another fine example of doing exactly what the casinos want and expect players to do. They know players who think they're smarter than the casinos will make the higher EV two pr. hold every time. But the casino is not purposely blind to the fact that the math us on their side 24 hours a day. So they not only beckon these so-called "AP's" to play along with all their lucrative and well-advertised promotions--they ENCOURAGE them to bring as much cash as possible every single time.

Advantage casinos. Throughout time.
