AA vs. ZeKGB. He's good, right?

[jacki]

This hand happened in the $27 rebuy satellite to the $650 qualifier to a WPT event.

I see ZeKGB a lot online and see him mentioned on 2+2, so I assume he's solid.

about 35 left. 6 seats awarded, plus cash to 7th and 8th.

Here's the hand.ZeKGB is the button:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP1 (t11370)
MP2 (t12710)
Hero (t7025)
Button (t5860)
SB (t2445)
BB (t10475)
UTG (t4110)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
3 folds, Hero raises to t600, Button calls t600, 2 folds.

Flop: (t1500) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets t800, Button raises to t2000, Hero...
A) cries like a baby and folds
B) pushes like the man that he is
C) calls because he's confused

easy push

Push. You don't think he raises with a K here?

[Proofrock]

Push. Your ~ 1/2 pot CB OOP was just begging to get raised. I figure either (1) he reads you for weakness and has a weak hand as well (flush or straight draw?), (2) he has TP, or (3) he has KQ or a set of 7s.

(1) and (2) are likely enough, and (3) unlikely enough that a push has to be right here (though this is if I have no reads -- any reads could certainly make a difference).

I'll add a read: He was playing very tight.

I just don't know what hands he can have here except:
KQ
77
AK maybe
AQ maybe
KJ maybe

What other hands fit his cold-call and flop raise?

If he's good, and you're good, he knows you could be on nothing but air here. As resteals go, I like his line, except that this time you have a hand.

Call his raise, and CR all in on the turn.

[bruce]

There are 48 combos of AK, AQ, and KJ.

There are 22 combos of 77 and KQ.

You haven't included QQ or KK, but I would expect him to reraise with either hand and that makes 34 combos ahead of you.

I think you have an easy call. You're going to win this
a lot more than u lose. Even if he has KQ u can still outdraw him. 77 along with KK and QQ are the only hands you're getting slaughered by.

I don't like the CR all-in on the turn. There are some draws out there (flush and straight draws both). Hero's call indicates he has some kind of hand. This line gives Villain the option of taking a free card.
