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

[ahache]

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

Sorry salanm, I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I was trying, not entirely successfully it seems, to suggest that this post was a tad results oriented. Of course you want all of your chips in with this hand, the more the merrier.

I'll try to post more responsibly in the future, but it's soooo darn hard.

Hope this clarifies things...

Edit:
My suggestion of raising 1200-1500 was legit. A raise of 1900 tells any thinking opponent that you will not fold to a push. This is NOT the message we want to send. We WANT them to think they can steal from us, hence a bet that doesn't look as committing as the 1900 does.

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

i open fold kings nowadays. Nothing but bad comes from them.
