Folding KK on an all-undercard flop...to one bet.

On the other hand, I'll win this small tourney about 3x the average by playing small-ball early and pushing people around late. They've got a similar small-field $100+10 tourney on weekends and I've won straight up 6/14 times this year with fields of 24, 22, and 15 amongst my wins. It's not a given that I should race 2-pair here.

I dont think a fold here is that bad considering there are only 9 out of 11 people left and you have a deep stack with good strucutre. If this were larger tourney I would commit my chips to accumulate for later stages. but since this is basically a deepstacks SNG, I dont think accumulating is as important as it is for a MTT. I dont think I would fold this but does my logic make sense?

This was at Bugsy's Club. Anyway, I happen to have results, so here goes. I admit that I probably passed up a +EV play here and made a marginally bad fold. I don't think it can be too terrible because I don't see anybody betting 3x the pot while putting 1/3 of their stack in without having a pretty good range.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Perhaps at Bugsy's Club, which means I'm probably getting an account there...but not at a big site.
