Default Re: KK on a A high flop


Re-raising to 550 preflop is ridiculous. In a spot like this don't put yourself in an impossible situation if an ace flops. Once the guy reraises to 225 say to yourself "okay all my money is going in the pot NO MATTER WHAT". Then do something that makes this a reality. You don't want to make a small raise and then allow yourself to get scared by an ace.

Raise to like 700-800 minimum....or even allin. You cannot just plan to reraise 1/3 of your stack and fold if an ace flops...also you are giving him a decent price to call you with preflop.

Again, it obviously will pain you to let go of the hand at any point after you are reraised. So please make sure to manipulate the betting so that there is no possible way you can fold at any point.
