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

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

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.
