Default Re: KK w/ uncomfortable stack size - What\'s your plan on this flop?

[ QUOTE ]
Pushing the flop is very, very bad. So is anything else involving ending up all in on the flop, and I can't believe that people want that to happen.

I think this is an easy check*, it's not very close, and what you do afterwards is play poker.

*But on a flop like that, I also check AK a lot.

I also thought about checking the flop, but I think the problem with that is that you are going to lose often to an Ace-weak kicker in the BB. I think that is the problem with this hand--how do you win if the BB has something like AT or A9? Or do you just give this hand up (which seems weak to me).

Checking this flop may give the BB the idea that he has this hand won, which means that he would be more likely to call your bet on the turn than on the flop.

Of course, I've never won $25000 in a tournament before. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
