Is this a bad beat post??? Call.

Calls as quickly as possible.

my estimate is 1/5 times you are up against AA and 4/5 times you are on your way to doubling or tripling up.
I believe, there is a wide consensus on this forum that you don't fold KK preflop without a very strong read and much worse action than this hand.

Well, I don't like calling an all-in with KK. It's only the second best starting hand. I think you should fold and wait for a better spot.

Buyin?

If he has half a brain he might be doing this with QQ or AK. If he's a complete idiot, he might be doing this with hands as bad as 55 or A3s (I've seen it before). I can't see a reason to assume he has aces, and if he doesn't you'll probably be heads-up if you call even at most low buyins. Call.

Easy call for me. With AA (the only hand you are worried about), the raiser should want to extract a little more value than the measly 95 chips in front of him (what buy in is this again?). The all in raise is an interesting play, but KK is easily good enough to take this one down.

good point. you really don't want to be calling an allin without aces. even if he has AK, he could catch an ace to beat me, and i don't want to put myself in a situation where someone could catch a three outer to win.

He might even have KJ not suited.

Thanks to television, every jerkbag and their grandma wants to know how to play tournament poker. You know what else is on television? The Weather Channel. And I predict a 100% chance of your demise if you don't follow my system....
