Easy allin for me, even at that table. If they have aces, oh well. Besides, they probably don't figure you for aces or kings, since you raised utg instead of limped.

Was there an AA out there?

Hiya morgan,

This is actually an easier all-in than having simply one opponent. Your opponents are much more likely to hold each other's Ace outs than to have you beaten. If it had been just one opponent moving in behind you, and you knew that opponent to be a tight, cautious player, it might give you pause. But with a reraise followed by an all-in, it's very likely that you have two opponents holding Ace-Face ... a very nice situation for your KK.

All-in. Immediately, if not sooner.

Cris

Push. No other option, IMO.

I think I was the MP re-raiser. I won't give it away. I don't remember what I had. I think it was AKs. Maybe it was another QQ fiasco for me.
