PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

What is the correct way to act here. I mean, the Button has me covered, and if he gets a pair of aces, im out.

There are two small stacks, and one of them is up agains the big stack. Is it better to fold this hand, and hope that UTG looses the hand, and is out of the money?? On the other hand... Folding KK doesnt feel that good... If I called and won, I would be in a good position to win the tournament.

I have no partiqular reads on any of the two players.

Is UTG all in or did he save 35 chips?

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

Its a call, without reads you can profitably call 99+ and AKs in this spot

i think you should fold, no one stacks off without AA

At a 6.50 I'm never folding KK...people will stack off with A10+ and even small pairs, I've seen it more times than I can count

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

youre right. come to think of it, youre absolutely crushing their ranges. yeah, maybe this is a call

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

UTG is all in.. Ante is 25 + raise of 1465 = 1490.

there is no reason to play what ifs here you have kk cream your pants and call

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

Easy, easy call.

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

easy call. you have to lose both main pot and side pot to be out of the tourney. which when you have KK is a hard thing for them to do.

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

especially if both of them has an ace

seriously, iron a shirt while youre wearing it next time you think of folding here

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

Thanks for the feedback. Here is how the hand ended.. I called and won. But I must admit that I took some time to consider before making the call.

no because if you lose the side pot then you would lose the main pot to the big stack as well and you would be out. you just have to beat the big stack

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??

Anyone who folds here isn't playing for the win and therefore hates money.

Re: PS $6.5: Easy Call or Hard Fold??
 

are we all being levelled here or what?

Wow... just wow.
You don't have enough posts for me to decide if I'm being leveled or not, but being that this is a 6.50, I'm gonna assume that you are thinking on Sklansky's level 0. Thats all you need to beat a 6.5 anyway-- you have KK-- you call!
