Re: For those considering folding KK preflop in a $10+1 (LC)

[ QUOTE ] Not at the 55's, not the 200's, not the Step Highers,not the WSOP....hell I am not folding KK pre-flop even if the tourney buy-in happened to be my wife and kids. [/ QUOTE ] I think Sklansky and Harrington would disagree with you. I was reading the Blog of the WSOP this year (as it was going on), and the most repeated bust was KK losing to AA. [/ QUOTE ] Friend, you obviously haven't read "Harrington on Hold'em." In one of them he says (talking about pre-flop hands), "If I hear of someone telling an elaborate story about how he had a read on someone and he folded KK preflop, I instantly think, 'Idiot.'" So, Harrington would actually disagree with YOU! |

But I'm 100% positive Sklansky says he's easily folded KK in his Tournament Holdem Book. |

10+1 tourney people go all in with suited connectors for crying out loud!!! KK is a very strong hand, I cannot ever see laying it down pre-flop....QQ different story, still have a lot of cards that can beat you...But KK, you should not play the game if you are scared to play that hand...GL

However, on the rare occasion when an excellent player might fold KK preflop, it would likely not be based on a read...but it could be based on the table conditions when it is time to act. The same, to a lesser chance, might apply to a great player and AA. |
