Wow, I can't agree with you here, Paluka. Why is this a fold preflop? I'm a nit, for sure, and I'm stealing with K3s here, especially against tight blinds. I'm also playing the hand the way she did, all the way. She gets a free card when she knows she's beaten and then has a crying call on the end.

What kind of hands do you think Mimi will play this way? I think it's any decent A and any pair. If she has a pair, you let her off the hook too easy with JV's line. Not 4 betting and leading the turn may be good if you think she'll fold if you do jam it, but I don't find that happening very often (if it does, then you've got a ripe opponent, BTW).

When the blinds were described as tight, the game was also called tough. I took this to mean "the blinds are tight-aggresive players who play well" not "the blinds are tight players who fold too much in the blinds". In games like this, the button probably 3 bets you aggressively as well. I just think that K3s is not quite a strong enough hand to open with. I don't like playing shorthanded pots with 2s and 3s in my hand, either. If you assured me the blinds were "tight rocks" rather than "tight aggressive" then I could see the preflop raise being +EV.
