A known, tight, solid player, with a poker prophecy win percentage of 46% over 300 games, minireraises to 430 from the BB, almost half his chip stack.

In short, NEVER FOLD KK PREFLOP and you will never make a grevious mistake. I assure you, your hourly rate will remain the same.


[/ QUOTE ] So you do have Poker Prophecy. Hmm. And you are reraising all in with a player who has a 46% win percentage and he minireraises you. Hmm. If you NEVER FOLD KK PREFLOP, then you don't know how to make a good laydown.

Number crunching aside. You are overanalyzing the situation like many of you analytical players do. The reraise SCREAMED pocket aces. And you felt it as well. Had you made this laydown, which you should have, you would have had plenty of chips to regroup and win. Plenty. Do you have no discipline? A laydown here would have been impressive. Why not trust your read in this situation?

Sometimes you have to use the "KISS" method, as quoted by Dan Harrington. This all comes down to a simple read, and a not so simple, but correct laydown. Put the odds calculator away on this one. Just because pot odds dictate a call, doesn't mean you MUST CALL or in your questionable situation, go all in (why? if anything call and try to spike the flop. Pot odds definately don't say go all in). You number crunching braniacs think so much you come full circle anyways.
