KK 1st orbit $10K buy in

[Temp Hutter]

First orbit, actually the 3rd hand of the tournament, in a $10K buy in NLHE event and hero is dealt KK in the CO. Both hero and villian did not play either of the first two hands so they both have 10,000 starting stacks. Blinds are 25-50. Hero is in the CO and villian is two seats to his right. Folds to villian who raises to 200. Folds to hero who reraises it to 1,200. Folds back to villian who shoves for 10,000. Would you call or fold if you were hero?

I have asked a few people about this and I was surprised to hear both sides claim it was easy 1) easy fold or 2) easy call. Nobody thought it was a tough decision but people took opposite positions.

I often fall into the trap of putting people on hands at the table based on the way I would play and not on the way that they actually play.
