Re: Folding KK Before The Flop
Good fold, even if you have pot odds against AA, you can't make money in 5-3-2 payout-structure SnGs by taking gambles which result in you being knocked out on the first hand 80% of the time. It is just impossible.

As it turned out, there was a K in the flop, and a call would have won the pot. I did finish 2nd in that one, though, sooo I was okay with that. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I knew I was giving the g00t advice. I was the only one that says call and I was the only right person. |

Re: Folding KK Before The Flop
This is a semantic point, but---- I definitely don't use the word "favorite" in the same manner as you.
For example... in a situation where I have a 45% chance to win vs. 1 opponent who has a 55% chance to win, I would never say that I'm a 45% favorite.... I would say that I'm a 10% underdog (dog, actually)... or that, my opponent was a 10% favorite. I believe--- and someone correct me if I'm wrong-- that the word favorite is, and should be, reserved for speaking about the person who is actually ahead in the hand (the one who is in fact the "favorite"). It's kind of a silly point, but I've been drinking, and after reading your post I had to run the numbers myself-- even though I knew there was no way that the OP could have been a 20% favorite... And now I've made a stupid post about it.... |

Re: Folding KK Before The Flop
If you're interested in maximizing +$EV situations, ROI, and $/hr, I think you make this call.
If you are timid about the buyin, and want this game to LAST, then fold. |
Re: Folding KK Before The Flop
unless I know one of the players is you, i'm calling, everytime. If it's donks or unknown players you can't put them on AA accurately enough to fold this.
