KK preflop question
 

Is this an easy fold at the Party $55's? I am one from button with KK, it is 5th hand of tourn 3 limpers at 15 one raise of 125 I make it 275 and all in from SB and original raiser calls.

I always post this hand when someone asks about folding KK preflop. This was from a $55. Sucks that I lost though.

I don't play $55, at least not yet, but what the Heell, why not?

Re: KK preflop question
 

Never fold KK preflop, is the motto I think we should use. You see AKo, AKs, QQ, JJ, 10 10, way too often to make it +EV to always play KK until the flop.

Re: KK preflop question
 

I was saying push it-sorry if that wasn't clear.

Re: KK preflop question
 

The stacks are just too shallow to fold KK in an SNG. I have never done it.

Unless you're 100% sure you're beat by rockets, push them

Re: KK preflop question
 

If someone has AA, there's a 90% chance you're out of the tournament. Assuming the hands actually played, there's a better than 50/50 shot you're out. True you might quadruple up, but do you think it is worth the risk?

Re: KK preflop question
 

This is never the case, unless you have EXTENSIVE hh's on villian, and this is the ONLY hand villian EVER plays this way.

Re: KK preflop question
 

You have way better odds than 25% here, since it's to quadruple up, I think calling is +EV (by a lot).
