Why do solvers check the nuts on many polarized betting boards?
I've noticed that on many polarized betting boards such as AK3 it will bet polarized with the exception of the nuts. So on AK3r it will overbet, KK, 33, K3,A3 basically at 100% frequency but will rarely overbet AA and will check it back a lot. Anyone have any idea why this is? My best explanation is that it wants to protect the checking and small bet ranges from jams and massive overbets that would otherwise get 100% folds if you did bet all your nutted hands, open to any other ideas.

for your specific example a lot of the potential calling range is blocked by the hand (AA)

its so you can range destroy with AA. so you have the nuts, the invible nuts, you chk back to protect against their non nut nutted hands. and to protect against their binked reversse iimplieds.
alternatively...... overbet AA and starught draws........................ they fold thinking you have really strong hand, or you have equity versus their Quite Strong made Hand
