We raise to $7 UTG with black kings.  The button, who is a solid 19/17 player, calls.  The flop is Q64 with two diamonds.  The book indicates that this opponent could easily raise and get all-in on this flop with a good queen.  Why would this solid player do that with an SPR of over 11?

Because as we wrote at the end of the first paragraph, "He views you as being smart and aggressive." In his view, your range is wide for raising preflop and c-betting this flop. If he has AQ, he is well ahead of your range and is CORRECT to raise for value, particularly if he'll raise with draws (which he is also correct to do). Make sense?

I was thinking that if our opponent had a draw and we had an overpair, then the money might get all-in after opponent shoves over top of our bet; but if he had top pair against our overpair, then the money would not get all-in.  Also, if we were to have the draw and opponent were to have top pair or overpair, then once again the money would get all in that way as well, only this time we would be shoving instead of calling.

In other words, the all-in scenario would require either us or him to have the draw, and the player on the draw would shove, and the made hand would respond with a call, but it would not happen if it were a made hand facing a made hand.

This problem seems so read dependent. Most regs tend to stack off fairly light against me because they know I'll push small edges and put their 1 pair hands to the test (AQ,KQ, JJ-77) with either a draw, middle pp pair or sometimes the overpair.

A thinking regular might float the flop and if make a big raise if any diamond, 5, 7, 3 hits the turn. So I can definitely see how this kinda of board could produce quite a bit of action.
