Pot limit KK on bubble....what to do?
 

There are 10 players left you have 21,000 in chips blinds are 600/1200. you have KK in early position and put in a pot size raise. Your image is excellent and are 3rd in chips at time. Player in sb is 2nd in chips with approximatly 22300. He reraises to 7200, and I just call.

Flop is Jc-3c-10d, he checks I check behind. I felt a trap and wanted to just dump it.

Turn is 5c he bets 11000, I go into the tank with my 2nd nut flush draw and a hand I worry is behind(no really?) who folds here?


Thanks in Advance!!

I pushed the rest of my stack and he called and turned over the hand i dreaded the most AA with the Ac. I am drawing to 2 outs, I don't get lucky nad am out on the bubble. I feel I played this terrible on every street. If I reraise preflop or bet the flop after he checks and he comes over the top for my whole stack I feel as though I can let it go.
Am I giving too much away by considering laying this hand down?

Re-raise pre-flop
 

When I hold KK, nobody sees the flop cheaply here.
Re-raise pre-flop because all my chips are goin in the pot.

By the way:
What is your impression of the raiser?
How much are we playin for here? That's a very important consideration.
(I may be able to fold my hand if the money is big enough.... otherwise, why sweat it.)

This is pretty much an automatic all-in reraise preflop. When he turns over AA, all you can do is say "Sh*t, what a frickin' cold deck that was!"

The money just isn't deep enough here to get away from KK preflop.
