KK deep stacked OOP

[SlyAK]

Site: Party skin $100 NL

I have $220 in the SB, BB has $205.

My image may be a little LAG, I raised 3 times in the last rotation, taking down 2 of those hands preflop and then folding the 3rd one to a preflop re-raise. Villain seems just a tad loose, but I've never seen him before today. Since I am 8-tabling my read isnt that great.

I am dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the SB. UTG limps, I make it $5 from the SB, BB raises to $20. UTG folds, and I call.

Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I lead out for $30, and BB pushes. Thoughts on my play so far? Should I call the overbet push?

Well, if you are aggressive preflop, they just don't believe that you have a hand all the time that you are raising preflop (of course, aggressive players need to raise with junk from time to time). I think probably a reraise preflop is prudent with KK. I'm coming around on that one after just calling lately in these situations. Tells him you have a monster if you reraise to ~$70. That may get him to lay down those middle pockets that you are concerned with here.

Nevertheless, I would call here. 3 hands are beating you: AA, TT, 99. Good chance he has QQ or JJ. Some chance he has AK/AQ diamonds or a 10 or a straight draw. Some chance he's making a donk bet trying to scare you off a non-PP hand. The all-in push instead of a nice sized raise from him is a possible indication he's trying to make a move on you.

I played a similar hand yesterday. I was raising preflop and not having to show hands because of aggressive play postflop. I was SB with TT. 3 limpers come in and then I raised big to try to take it down right there. Got one caller who had a medium sized stack behind. Flop came 973. I led for about 3/4 pot, and medium stack pushed all in. I called and he flipped over A7o.

At these stakes, you are somewhere north of 50/50 to take this down. That's my guesstimate; so, calling here makes you money in the long run. (may suck in the short run tho [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )

EDIT: I would be more comfortable calling here if he only was medium stacked, but your KK has to like this flop and call.
