What to do with KK when reraised pot preflop?

KyleH186 · #1 06-02-2005, 01:08 AM

Earlier in a PL 2000 game i had KK, i had been running hot. I make it 60 to go from MP. 2 callers, the CO and the Button. then the SB makes it 250 to go. I know the SB is a solid player, so AA immediately runs through my mind. I flat call. (Probably a mistake.)

Flop is QJ4, now at this point i know I am beatng nothing. He bets 450, i put him in for 1500 more (even tho I knew i was beating nothing).

Now i played this hand completely wrong and I knew it from the start. My post-flop play was horrid, and my pre-flop play was questionable. However my question is, should i have 3-bet my KK against a solid reraiser?

no, he will fold QQ and prob smoothcall the aces. Just fold the flop.

What a glorious flop to get when you are up against AA with KK. Almost as good as K 7 2.

I don't like just calling, so reraise pf and fold if comes over the top.

this is probably not a very good reason to reraise.

This is really what it comes down to. I dont mind losing KK to AA on occasion. If you think about it, there are really only 4 types of hands players will go deep all in preflop. You will most likely only lose to 1 of them.

In my world there are only 2 hands people will go all in pf with, (having significant stacks behind them) and last time i checked AA>KK.

But I agree, on another level, I just cant fold KK pf.
