Do people really suxx0r this much? 20+2

[Blackjack]

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

CO (t625)
Button (t1235)
SB (t1205)
Hero (t1315)
UTG (t1055)
UTG+1 (t855)
MP1 (t260)
MP2 (t1450)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG+2 calls 30, MP2 raises to 200, MP3 calls 200, folded to Hero who raises all in for 1315.

How often should I expect AA here?

Who calls the 200 and pushed on a non-ace flop?

[The once and future king]

I havnt even looked at the hand but the asnswer thankfully is yes.

On a six handed table it's 44-1 that someone has aces pre flop against your kings( according to the WPT telecast). On an 8 handed table might be around 40-1.

With 2 opponents I would push rather than stop and go, but after thinking about it, it might be the better play.

i will often minraise in this situation. often times someone will be more ready to push over top of you than call when you push over top of them as they will interperet your min raise as weakness.

What does that mean Johnybeef?

Wouldn't a minraise define your hand even more than just pushing? I've seen dipsticks push with much worse than KK at the 20+2 (ie.. 66.. 77.. AJo)

I think this is an easy push. You want to get heads up in this situation. You may still get 2 callers but you have a good chance of folding out 1 caller if you push. You can't worry about AA in this situation. It happens too infrequently to make this a bad push.

I totally agree, and what's more important, Harrington agrees. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
