1st hand of the WSOP ME, reraised allin pf you have KK. Easy fold?

[Keres]

6600 players. 25/50 blinds. Everyone has 10k in chips. UTG raises to 250. Folded to you on the button. You raise to 1250 with KK. Blinds fold. UTG reraises allin. You've never seen this player before.

edit: okay, I don't hate you, but I do hate this thread

Fold preflop

PS This thread sucks

This has been discussed before. For me, you are going to need a stack at this tourney. Below is not totally accurate as there is no way that villain's cards are completely random for an all-in pre-flop. But still, KK looks pretty good. All that said, I'm calling and I'm hating myself til Villain turns over QQ.

Whats the point of listing KK's equity against a random hand. Clealry the villain's hand is not random.

Anyway, I would fold. There, I said it. For the people who said it's an easy call, how deep do the stacks have to be for you to fold KK preflop to an all-in? If 200bb isnt deep enough, then what is?

[BabyJesus]

Haven't you guys read Harrington on Holdem? He says just call with KK, occasionally they'll have AA but what is more likely is they surprise you with AKs or QQ. He says you'll run KK into AA like 1/24 hands or something like that and you just have to suck it up when it happens.

[Skjonne]

Oh no. Not again

[OrcaDK]

Why would anyone push AA this quickly, wouldn't they reraise to like 3500? I'm calling this in a heartbeat.

I think you answered your own question.

I push because I've been preparing for this to happen since this thread has appeared in some variation 6,600 times over the last year. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
