Default Re: 5/10 NL/PP...Mucking KK Preflop with Deep Stacks

I personally hate the smooth-call with KK. A lot of people seem to be making this move, and I think that it's rarely justified and just a good way to lose big hands. For one thing, it might have cost you a little more money but if you put in a reraise and UTG limp re-reraises or UTG calls and CO still comes over the top at least you'll be sure you're behind. As it is the pot has $1060 in it and you only need to get $1420 more out of it to justify investing putting in $380 (again IF you're behind) if you want to get your 6.5:1. Considering that you'll only need to get a little more than a pot-sized bet out of it to justify seeing a flop and that this hand is 3-handed with a limp re-raiser out of position you can reasonably expect this hand to play pretty big. I say call.
