Re: KKxx in $5 PLO
Ok. I limped in up front hoping to be able to put in a reraise, as if I had AAxx- really thinking that AAxx and KKxx played about the same way. Also thinking about Berman's bit in SS2 about not raising from up front. Then after UTG+1 limped with that enormous pause, I got edgy. When the button raised, I thought of reraising as planned, but I thought UTG+1 would come over the top if he had AAxx. So I just called, UTG+1 came over the top. Button smooth called and I couldn't figure out how I was going to win without a K on the flop, because one or the both of them had AAxx. So I folded.
UTG+1 had AAxx. Button had QQxx.
I think if I raised first in, AAxx reraises, button coldcalls, then I have a decision, because neither player has shown as much aggression.
