Re: Don\'t ever think of folding KK pre-flop
That min threebet from CO made me think he could only have KK+, but I pushed anyway. The result shows why. So I'm guessing I won't fold KK preflop anytime soon.

Re: Don\'t ever think of folding KK pre-flop
What if villain limps UTG you pop a raise and he reraises big? What range do you put villain on in this case? Usually it's AA or KK and if you're holding two Kings that makes the latter unlikely. How does one handle this play that is typically made with a very select group of hands?

[/ QUOTE ] I think the point is, that they'll do this with hands you beat more than enough to make it worthwhile. Although I'm not convinced. I'd be interested in a study of how many of these 'he's got aces' reraises actually are aces. |

Top 5 leaderboard means little - just that he plays alot. [/ QUOTE ] Players putting in those sorts of hours will be solid at worst. They are obviously serious players, and likely depend on sngs for income. Sure it doesn't make them the most skillful +ev players, but it is enough to treat them with respect. |

Re: Don\'t ever think of folding KK pre-flop

Don't ever think of folding KK pre-flop [/ QUOTE ] Nothing wrong with folding KK when someone you know is playing QQ+/AK has made a bet they wouldn't with QQ & AK. Very rare, but it doesn't mean it's not sometimes correct. The only reason we say to never fold kings is because it'd be natural to lay down kings more often than we should, so we do it to stop us losing EV overall. However, if you have a very strong read you should stick to it. |
