Happy Hour KK hand. Fold Preflop?!
 

No reads on the villains, but the min raise is a little suspicious. At this point I have 1000 chips left, still plenty for this level. Call here and try to accumulate or fold preflop the Hellmuth way.

Its a good job you aren't a complete n00b (in terms of post count), otherwise i would cringe at the reactions this post would get.

Re: Happy Hour KK hand. Fold Preflop?!
 

There are some posts where it's an obvious call, like a person open pushes in a $20 party tourney or something. I thought this was a little tougher because it was a $100 tourney, my raise was min-reraised, my reraise to 500 was then REraised AND called. Not the typical "OMG FOLD KK?!?!!" post I thought.

I'll admit it really does look like aces here but hell, look at the pot at this point...around 2900 in there with 735 to call so you're pretty much getting "proper" odds if one of them does have aces. Add in the chance that neither one does have you beat and I think it's a call. I'll never feel bad goin out with kings but I would kick myself in the head if I folded and they showed queens and AK.

I'd love to see Jean-Robert Ballande and Hellmuth play heads-up ...

first hand ... both with stacks of T1000 ... blinds 25/50
Phil raises from the SB with KK to 200
Ballande reraises from the BB with 22 to 400

Phil grimaces, stands up from his chair, circles the room lamenting about how he keeps running into monsters whenever he picks up a hand and amateurs usually go broke with his hand, and folds, showing his KK.

Ballande knocks the table ... "Excellent laydown, sir .. excellent laydown."

after the villain re-reaised to 160 you should have PUSHED!
no re-raising malarchy, just flat push.
