KK and a Donk
Here's the situation: Empire, 50NL 6-max, both you and UTG have been capitalizing on the Button's donkish play in the last 20 hands or so. You have ~115 and cover the table. UTG has ~100. UTG seems solid, no particular reads would suggest he is anything other than ABC.
You pick up KK UTG+1, UTG raises to 2, you raise to 6, donk reraises all-in to ~28 and UTG goes all-in for ~100 more. Your move?

Re: KK and a Donk
Even donks get hands every now and then. And not all of them slow-play them.
UTG's min-raise, and re-raise all-in just screams AA to me. If their image of you is as a solid player, get out of the way.

Re: KK and a Donk
Well the BB was 0.5 and so 2 dollars was pretty much a standard raise at the table, not a minraise. My main question is, how often do you think even a decent player at 50NL will make this move with AK or QQ in order to A) Try and isolate the donk, or B) Overvalue his holding?

Re: KK and a Donk
i wouldn't say that screams AA necessarily.
I think it screams "I have a hand better than donk's and I don't want you fouling it up/putting me to a tough decision later (99-QQ/AK/AQ) so stay out of here" I'd call

Re: KK and a Donk
[ QUOTE ]
6 handed? My money is going in the middle. [/ QUOTE ] Naturally I called and he had AA, however I still don't think I necessarily made a terrible call. I feel like, maybe if it's just heads up between him and me I MIGHT be able to get away from this preflop, the possibility that he was trying to isolate the donkish small stack was too high and I couldn't rule out a smaller pocket pair or AK. Do you all agree/disagree with my reasoning?
