Default Re: KK on the first orbit

I would consider raising more PF. There was a long discussion on the former tournaments forum regarding what exactly is a pot-bet. To put things short, a pot-bet (or pot-raise) in your situation PF, is T190, and not T110. I think I would probably bet 200-300 in that spot, so I won't find myself with 4 players on the flop. The original raiser will probably call alone.

On the flop, without a specific read, I think I call his all-in. I don't think he has a set, or QJ (I don't see people mini-raising PF with it) and I'll suspect actually he has AJ (only a guess) or maybe a draw. I see many times on these levels, players who try to protect 2nd pair with all-in, or even 3rd, if they have a poker-pair (like TT in your situation). If he has AA, well, it's never easy to get away from AA vs. KK situations. I guess you'll have to wait in line for another game.


That's only my expirience,
