KK

This is a $30 buy-in, if that matters. Is this a call every time or could I have gotten away from this. I thought about folding, but hindsight is always 20/20. What do you think?

SB had the other KK
CO had 1010 and caught his set, so we were drawing dead by the turn.

Looks fine to me. No way I'm fold KK pre-flop.

No way I fold this. You're a heavy favorite against every hand other than AA and you can't be confident enough that somebody has it to lay this down.

That being said, with two other players in the pot there is still a decent chance you will lose this, but the payoff is well worth it IMO.

hard to get away from ks when your the first to call an all in.

my asssumption based on all the factors is i'd initially put CO on ts or higher and maybe aq or higher. i'd put sb on js or higher or ak. at the point of your action i'd assume theres a 2/3 chance you have sb dominated and also a high chance then that co folds. once co goes all-in i'm putting him on ks or aces. now im worried

You got in a +EV race.

Good call.
