Re: KK preflop question
I always post this hand when someone asks about folding KK preflop. This was from a $55. Sucks that I lost though.

I don't play $55, at least not yet, but what the Heell, why not?

Re: KK preflop question
Never fold KK preflop, is the motto I think we should use. You see AKo, AKs, QQ, JJ, 10 10, way too often to make it +EV to always play KK until the flop.

I was saying push it-sorry if that wasn't clear.

Re: KK preflop question
The stacks are just too shallow to fold KK in an SNG. I have never done it.

Unless you're 100% sure you're beat by rockets, push them

Re: KK preflop question
If someone has AA, there's a 90% chance you're out of the tournament. Assuming the hands actually played, there's a better than 50/50 shot you're out. True you might quadruple up, but do you think it is worth the risk?

Re: KK preflop question
This is never the case, unless you have EXTENSIVE hh's on villian, and this is the ONLY hand villian EVER plays this way.

Re: KK preflop question
You have way better odds than 25% here, since it's to quadruple up, I think calling is +EV (by a lot).
