Facing reraise preflop with KK (early rounds)
 

(Let me preface this by saying I am more or less a lurker, and not as good as most of you).

I was wondering if anyone had calculated EV of pushing with KK preflop in the early rounds after raises and/or re-raises.

Assuming stacks are roughly equal, and, most importantly, the guy re-raising could be any random idiot with a range of hands that random idiots could potentially push with pre-flop.

I generally always push in this situation, but seem to be running into AA more than usual -- can any EV experts either flame me or praise me, please?

Thanks

Push and feel confident with the 2nd best hand in the game. In the long run you are teh win.

I play the 11s and 22s exclusively. I treat kings like aces pre-flop. Get as much money in the middle as you can before the flop (preferably all of it) and take your chances. Over the long run, you will make a fortune.

what everyone else said. You need an EXCEPTIONAL circumstance to fold KK preflop.

Push KK, Push QQ, strongly think about folding JJ, fold TT.

Sweet. Thanks dudes.

Revise... Push QQ, Definitely fold JJ unless he gives you a reason otherwise. QQ becomes a fold at higher levels, but not at teh 22s.
