I think of the door card more as a limiting card than an enhancing card. For example, if the door card is the A
, high pairs other than aces, like KK***, are devalued. Also spade, heart and club flush draws are devalued. Also A2***, A3***, and A4*** low draws are devalued. etc.
I don't know what you mean by "open" in a no-limit Courchevel game. (I know what "open" means in a fixed-limit Texas hold 'em game). By "on the button I open" are you implying everyone past the blinds has folded?
The number of players seated at the table and dealt cards makes a difference as to what hands I'll play. But in general it's safe to say I'd generally play the hands you have listed (AA***, KdXd***, WWW**, AWW**, 23***, and 24***) from on the button. I might play some other hands as well.
I'm curious. How did ProPokerTools estimate those particular hands make up 40% of the hands you'll be dealt when the door card is the A
? (Just curious as to how you got that percentage from ProPokerTools data).

Seems fine to me. 24***!A!3 seems the weakest of the playable hands you've listed, but in general I'd want to see the rest of the flop after the door card was the A
.

I don't know what you mean by "naked split pairs of aces."
I'm guessing "naked Kd hands" means a hand with the king of diamonds but no other diamonds and no other kings. If so, I generally would not try bluffing if the diamond flush came in (because that line of play doesn't work well for me... but to each his own).
