I realise it may seem like it but I'm not playing AA and KK weak preflop the majority of the time. I know I've posted a couple of hands recently where I've tried to get fancy with my big hands but I haven't posted all the hands where I bet/re-raise PF and everyone folds. Besides, in this case I know I'm going to have position on my opponent and I'm quite confident that I can outplay him after the flop.

You guys really raise and/or re-raise PF with AA/KK 100% of the time? To me it's like raising from MP with 67s, you're doing it for deception. If I re-raise my opponent everytime I pick up a big hand, it's going to become pretty obvious to everyone at the table what I'm holding. In this hand had I re-raised my opponent PF, he would have check/folded on the flop and I wouldn't have gotten anything else out of him.

edit: According to PT, I'm raising PF with AA and KK about 88% of the time and I know I've read in a couple of books that the pros like to raise about 80% of the time or something like that.
