Just had the same type situation in the Party Quater Mil. Had KK and opened from cutoff to 90 with 10/15 blinds, SB bumped it to 200 and I pushed him in and he insta called with AA.

And, maybe u should try to stick with playing a small pot because if all the chips go in u are often gonna look at AA

yes, so often that i see monsters under my bed.

That is some real constructive poker theory there willie, thanks a lot for the contribution.

well so is the idea that you're "OFTEN" going to see Aces when you have kings.

i'm used to party with a smaller chip structure

at 10/20 i'd take it to 100 preflop and push if EVER reraised, and be right about 94% of the time.

i can live with the other 6%.

more constructive?

you're losing all your chips against AA if you see a flop without an A anyways.

The problem is that u either win a small pot 94 percent of the time or go bust the other 6 percent with a few mixed in double ups for QQ, AK...but I think most can get away from this hands less than QQ in the first round. Why not take a flop in position vs an autobet and inferior hand 94 percent of the time instead of rolling the dice?
