I'd either raise 1200-1500, or go all-in when the action first gets to you.


I also fold when the second limper goes all-in, because you can see on the hand history he has aces. You don't want to call an all-in with kings when they have aces.

ummmmmmm, im quite confused with this post... at best... how do u ever fold kings in this position, with this amount of chips... EVER?? yup, i wudda just pushed with it straight away, picked up blinds at worst, but either way, you were fightin a losing battle. so, nothing would've helped in this situation - happens, infrequently, but happens. i'm just really really puzzled, how anyone can even consider folding this

Re: Was this hand played wrong? KK
 

This is a pretty straight forward hand. there arent too many other ways to play it. Just try to get your money in preflop.

Re: Was this hand played wrong? KK
 

actually, thats a lie, that hand has been played pretty much perfectly. can't help that u ran into aces. good hand, well played, got unlucky... happens...

Hard to put someone on AA after not raising an EP limper. I go broke here.

I fold all pocket pairs here that aren't hitting sets on the river.
