Playing KK From The SB vs LP Raises

Generally, we will 3B double suited KK combos quite a bit within this dynamic (can mix in some calls possibly with very weak ones such as KK32ds), but many players ask me about single suited KK combos. The general rule of thumb is you need to be quite connected with single suited KK to warrant cold calling vs a raise from OOP. KKQ8ss and KKJ9ss are about the bottom of what your range should look like, so quite narrow regarding cold calling single suited KK combos. AKK combos are very often 3B due to the ace blocker, but if you do have a non nut suit you can mix some calls in as well.
