Default Re: KK, rough board

It takes a special player 'taking a shot' to push into the preflop reraiser w/ a flopped set.
What kinda "special player", ive made this play quite a few times.A gross overbet all in with a set and so also with draws and air against the pf raiser.
Its a move ive grown to like.It might not get u paid off with ur sets everytime, but it does show the table u have enuf gambooool in u to get u a lotta action. I also think, that this sorta move,used occasionally combined with LAG play(open pushing with air, and draws against a premium pp) is at least neutral ev, if not better, compared to playing a set more traditionally against a pf raiser who can muck an overpair postflop. You just make it harder to muck his overpair when u open push, he doesnt have too many actions to go over to convince him enough to fold.
I agree that calling here is probably the correct move, which makes it a brilliant move for villain to make with a set.
