The Ace King debate

[Windbreaker]

I think it's fine for a player like TP to flat call the raise with deepstack poker. To me, that means TP feels like he's a better post flop player than his opponent...and can out play him even if he doesn't hit.

Of course that doesn't mean you should be calling raises in this spot every time...but if you take a look at Daniel Negreanu's blog from this years WSOP ME....he said he played 90% of all dealt hands in the first 2-3 days at the WSOP. He can only do this because he's one of the best post flop players around.

So another factor into the call vs raise is the post flop ability of both you and your opponent....I would much rather raise in this spot vs Phil Ivey....rather than a tight player conservative player....but is a weak passive player post flop.
