Default Re: 2nd hand KK with all-in in front?

you call, and on the extremely off chance he has AA, you console yourself in the fact that you did absolutely nothing wrong.

Only getting your money in with the nuts as opposed to "a hand that will almost always be best" is not good poker, especially in most small-stakes SNGs where you can get 1st in the tourney without ever getting a pocket pair at all.

Is this a bad beat post??? Call.

This is not a bad beat post. I was thinking, why would you pop this all in with AA? You'd want to milk AA a little wouldn't you?

I've been reading HOH, and find that his advice is very sound, but I think you have to make some changes when you're dealing with the maniacs that you find at the 10+1 level on Party.

I get caught sometimes thinking that the player across the table has a working brain.

If donks have AA here, they also have AK, QQ, JJ, TT, AQ, and a ton of hands that KK dominates.

FWIW, I have made this play with AA a few times in the 10s, because you will get a caller most of the time.

Fold he could have King Jack not suited.


No of course you call, i'm sorry if i'm missing something but its an sng if he has AA (which is 1/5 times or less, people love minraising with these if its a low limit if its high you're unlikely to see a push) then open up another one, otherwise doubleup.


Edit ~ Said king jack not suited before i read the replies, was gonna edit it out but thought i'd just put this in to say I wasn't copying you =p

Right, I played a hand a couple weeks ago that went raise, call, reraise, reraise, call, all-in, all-in, all-in. I had KK, the other guys had TT and 88. I was "sure" someone had AA, but I just couldn't fold! I'd never fold KK preflop at the $10 level. I don't think you'll be right enough to make it profitable.
