To range someone down to AA only when shoving 40BB over a raise and call is just utterly absurd. He'd have to have demonstrated visibly that he's scared out of his wits or just completely incompetent for that 'read' to have any credibility at all.
Forums are just absolutely schizophrenic and result-oriented when it comes to hands like this..
Whenever people get it in with their actual ranges you see threads like "How did they get all in with 'insert gunk hands'" and then whenever a cooler happens and people actually have monsters you have threads about how everyone should put people on AA and fold KK....
It's just absolutely mind-boggling, the extent to which people would prefer to lose by being too tight rather than too 'loose' (if that's the word for calling with KK after 40bb squeeze shove and 60bb isolation of that shove).
