perfect hand, wp
so now to thought process, when you open it you need a plan. First off, open jamming KTo is +EV compared to folding. It's a huge hand. It's really +EV to open jam it, much much higher EV than folding.
That out of the way, let's start considering other options. when you open it, what are possible outcomes? Well villain can fold, just like they could to open jam. They could flat, and this is wonderful b/c you're 10bb deep IP on the flop so there's really nothing wrong you can do except maybe folding too often. He can 3b. So now, ignore him flatting for a sec, let's say villain flats or jams over your open.
As you correctly saw, KTo is going to have more than enough equity to call a 3b. So now you end up in the same position as jamming--you're either all in, or villlain folds. So what's the difference? Well his 3b range is different from his call and open jam range. And his 3b range is going to be (in almost every situation) wider b/c villain assumes he has fold equity. Suddenly, you're getting it in against a wider range when you do get it in. And KTo does well against a wide range (stove it, see how your equity changes from a top 10% to top 20% to top 30% range). You end up with more equity.
So yeah, wp, but when you open KTo you should be fist pump snapping his 3b and not wondering
also sick play at namedropping me. Made me 100% more willing to post more in your thread, wp wp.
lastly, if you're enjoying the malkovich game thread, post some questions or observations (spoilered of course) in it. It's been greatly lacking in community involvement and it makes it feel like no one is reading all the comments which we work really hard on.
