Default Re: EP - KK First Hand - How would you play?

Slightly off topic, how bad is this play by my opponent at PP? Fifth hand of a SnG. I am holding KK as the fifth player to act. One limper, I raise it to one hundred. BB calls, EP limper calls.

Long story short EP limper is holding aa, and didn't reraise when the BB called my 100. I thought that was about as bad as you can play aces. I spoke of the limp reraise above, but why the heck limp in early position and flat call to a huge raiser and the bb.

Regards

I think another alternative that has not been brought up is to just go all-in. There are a lot of morons playing in the $5 Party SNGs and they will call you with real garbage.

Sure, you might lose to aces every now and then but you would probably be in the same situation after the flop and lose chips then too.

Note that this only applies to the first few hands (when you have a chance to establish yourself as a 'maniac') and in a $5 or $10 tournament.
