Would you have called with KK?
 

1st round of a 2-table $10 buy in NL Hold Em Tournament on Party. Blinds are 10/15. I'm in the small blind with KK. Player in middle position makes it 60 - I raise to to 125 - he's the only caller. Flop comes Q-7-2. I bet 225, he goes all in. I'm thinking he's either on QQ or AQ. After much deliberation I fold because he has me covered, I think QQ is a strong possibility and I want to stick around in the tournament. Would you have called?

You folded that in a $10 2-table tourney?

What flop do you want here? KK3?

Re: Would you have called with KK?
 

I'd definately call man...

You folded because you think he had QQ?


Sometimes it's almost as important to take opportunities when you probably have the best hand, as it is to 'preserve tournament life'.

IMO Folding usually shortens your tournament life as well.

So if you have AA and the flop comes A 2 2, do you fold thinking op has 22 in the hole?

If I have ever seen a push this is it.

I'll have to agree. You can't always be scared of the only hands that beat you. YOu are playing in a low buy-in event and villian's range probably includes hands like KQ.

Just think how you would have played this hand. If you hit top set and had the preflop aggressor betting in to you, would you try to take him off his hand with this overbet?
Of course not.

I think you have to call.

This is a horrific fold.

"I wanted to stick around in the tournament" is a horrible way of thinking. Don't be afraid to bust.

Who would play the nuts on the flop that fast? This is an easy easy easy call.

You folded?..I'm ultra tight and I insta call.

Re: Would you have called with KK?
 

At that buy-in level, with that action, I am never folding an overpair.

I highly doubt Villian has a set here, unless there's a two flush on the board and he's overplaying it. I agree that Villian could easily have TPGK or worse here.

Agreed, if he had QQ, do you really think he would have pushed and risk scaring you away? AQ, JJ and KQ is likely to see here.

Agreed. I humbly accept the feedback. Thank you. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
