Pre-flop:

slicksammy folds. snowman533 folds. UnExiled raises
to 155. pmr217 folds. BassinSarge folds.
idneverbluff re-raises to 250. luckytowne folds.
sirwynsalot folds. UnExiled calls.



I decide here that I havent been playing many hands and the blinds are low compared to my stack. I want to come in with this hand to maybe try and take the blinds or play against the weak blind competition. I raise to 155 which is around 2.5 times the big blind. Anyways the button raises minimum 95 more. This play signifies to me especially at the 5 dollar sit and go level that he is holding a high pair... most likely KK but could be AA. AA puts me in a bad situation but if he has KK and an A flops than he may not tend to believe me that I have an A. So this is a +EV call in my opinion and the flop determines the outcome of the hand. If it flops terrible then I can easily give it up with a large stack here.



Flop (board: Ad Tc 5s):

UnExiled checks. idneverbluff bets 590.



This is the difficult part of the hand. He has now bet the pot with a board of A 10 5. There are no draws that he could be playing and probably did not hit top pair with that size of a bet. Also this rules out the AA almost completely because who bets pot after catching top set. The question is, Is the bet he just threw out of pot supposed to be a bet large enough just to scare me away or did he hit the flop hard. Think about what you would do before moving on....











I decide after about 30 seconds of though that this guy is just not gonna give up his KK. I decide to push him all in to put him to the test. Naturally he calls immediatly with his KK. The dude just can't hit a k and I win.... which I think was a good push by me.





UnExiled raises to 2360. idneverbluff goes all-in for 1415.
UnExiled is returned 945 (uncalled).


Tournament all-in showdown -- players show:

UnExiled shows As 7s.
idneverbluff shows Kh Ks.



Turn (board: Ad Tc 5s 6d):

(no action in this round)



River (board: Ad Tc 5s 6d 3c):

(no action in this round)








Showdown:

UnExiled has As 7s Ad Tc 6d: a pair of aces.
idneverbluff has Kh Ks Ad Tc 6d: a pair of kings.



Hand #9685112-45 Summary:

No rake is taken for this hand.
UnExiled wins 3420 with a pair of aces.

Yes,

I think your time to act would run out if your read was this detailed.

(I didn't read your read - )

Well, the min-reraise usually means AA/KK. I wouldn't completely rule out him having AA, AK, or AQ, but I think your play is alright.

Fold it preflop. No need to get cute with a raise. You don't know whether his minimum reraise means 72o or AA. Fold it on the flop too.
You got lucky. KK is the only hand you beat (sure, QQ too).
