Laying Down KK preflop?
 

I don't have a hand history for this (played on PokerRoom)

Relevent Stacks:
UTG+1: $3.75
MP2: $32.00
Hero(CO): $34.25

Hero Dealt Kd Ks

Action:
UTG+1 raises to $1
folded to MP2 who RR to $3.75
Hero re-RR to $10
UTG+1 calls all in.
MP2 raises pot all-in.

Hero:...?

MP2 had been playing pretty weak-tight, never showing this much preflop action since I'd been at the table. UTG+1 doesn't bug me at all, he'd taken a bad beat a few hands earlier and had been kinda happy to bet his remaining stack since then. I'd been playing somewhat loose with selective agression. I was prepared to call, but then I stopped for a moment on a premonition. This guy was just playing too assuredly preflop for a weak-tight player. I considered that he maybe had KK as well, but that seemed unlikely, and even then I'm not as sure he would have played THIS agressively. I ended up folding, but since UTG+1 was all-in, I got to see if I was right or wrong. Anyone have thoughts about throwing away KK preflop?

Re: Laying Down KK preflop?
 

there are too many lay down KK pre-flop.

don't use selective memory.

No.

There's an FAQ for a reason. Namely, that people ask "Shoudl I have laid down KK pre-flop" all the time. The answer is always "No."

At these stakes, 3-handed, I don't think I would ever lay this down.

At higher stakes, 10-handed, I would rarely lay it down.

But I think he is posting this because he called and the villain showed AA and he lost his buyin. But hell no am I ever laying this down.

That's the only reason anyone every posts these hands. When villain shows QQ or AK, they just make brag posts about what fish people are.

Re: Laying Down KK preflop?
 

I'm asking more about this in relation to the specific player I described. Someone who is weak-tight, and hasn't re-raised a PF raise since I sat down, and open-raises PF maybe once every two orbits.

What hands do you think someone who plays so weak would play this way? Anything besides AA or KK I doubt. Maaaaaaybe QQ, but I see that as less likely than another KK.

Can't really ever throw away KK preflop at these stakes, no matter what.
