Pocket Kings WSOP ME

WSOP ME with 100/200/25 blind/antes.

I have T4400. I open pushed 3 hands ago and all folded.
I am in cutoff with pocket Kings. I make it T600. Phil
Hellmuth on button makes it T1400. He has a stack of around
T12000. I have been playing with Phil for around 5 hours.
He has never reraised BTF. He has twice folded pocket Kings
after being reraised BTF. He has folded AK once BTF on a reraise. All laydowns Phil has voluntarily shown his hand.

What is my play?

Comments appreciated.

Push and take it down now.

Take it to the felt. Or call. Let Phil bet again and push any flop to get more chips.

I would move all in.
KK is a monster hand.
I cannot put Phil on AA

Did he actually fold KK btf twice already?!? was this day one?

I think we need bill fillmaths help on this one...

Push...seriously, folding is ridiculous with that amount of chips.

i would honestly play this cautiously... hellmuth makes it a point not to get involved in pots without the nuts... of course kk is a powerhouse, but given hellmuth's incredibly weak-tight strategy in these big tournies, i think a call might be in order... and proceed cautiously from there...

you're looking at qq, kk, or aa...

Why not AK?
I think there is chance Phil has AK

davidross · #8 07-12-2005, 08:56 PM

I don't like pushing becuase it's pretty clear he's only calling you if he has AA so you only win the 1900 available now. If you think he might call a smaller re-raise I might try that but I'd be more inclined to smooth call and check-raise the flop trying to get more chips.

Flat call and get it in on any non-A flop. Who knows, he may even fold aces to a checkraise...and I don't see much if any EV in pushing now.

Given that there is a very good chance that Phil has AA, I would call. I think if you raise you let him off with QQ.

I'm check pushing any non-ace/queen/king flop. If he has the aces that's life.
