When TT is up against KK, the set mining dynamic is critical. TT flops a set about 11.8% of the time. When it does, the result is usually a massive pot because KK will have a hard time folding an overpair. This implied odds potential is what makes calling with TT preflop profitable even against strong ranges — the rare set more than compensates for the frequent losses.
The key requirement is stack depth. With 100+ big blind effective stacks, TT profits from set mining. At shorter stacks (under 40bb), TT often becomes an all-in-or-fold hand because there is not enough money behind to realize implied odds.
