I'd probably fold with 3 tight players with decent stacks all-in in front of me.

With only 5 people left, even if it is a 6 handed starting table is not considered early table play. Plus, remember that the STTs with the 10 minute levels require you to make the most out of the few premium hands you see. Having KK and getting no callers sucks. Having two people all-in before you and looking down at KK is euphoria.

My KK would have held up. Doh! [/ QUOTE ] Call was probably the answer here, but a fold shows you've got some serious dicipline (maybe too much?). How did you end up doing in the tournament? |

Sadly I busted out in 4h place when my all-in JJ was called by Ax and an ace hit the flop.
Thanks again for everyone's input on my bad play...lol. Drewboy22 |

You know, I think the odds are far higher that Both button and SB have One Ace, than they are that either has two.
You may come up against AA and lose, or more likely one or both has an A and an A hits the table. However, you're a big favorite. Except in extremely unusual circumstances (say you have 50 chips left on the bubble, so your chances of finishing ITM are best if one of the two all-inners busts out) I'm all in here. |

I think this is a definitely call. If you're up against AA then so be it. More likely than not you're a huge favorite to get a big stack. Play for first.

I also felt that I was one of the better players at the table and did not want to get busted out on a coin flip. Any comments would be appreciated. [/ QUOTE ] If this was your actual reasoning then you are obviously NOT one of the better players at the table. Also, this is a bad fold. |

It's a widely known fact that Phil Helmuth is the only player in the world good enough to fold kings preflop. Unless you are Phil Helmuth, don't fold.

Folding KK here is horrible.
Also, you will never be in a 'coin flip' with KK. You're either a big favorite, or a big dog to you know what. |

There is nowhere that Sklansky would ever recommend folding KK in any situation even remotely similar to this.
Calling is automatic |
