25NL - KK preflop, can I really get away from it?!
 

Only a few hands in on the table, no real reads...

can I possibly lay KK down preflop here? BB's re-raise does scream aces doesn't it!

oh, and as for my rather large 6xBB raise preflop, the table was pretty loose and a few players were calling preflop bets with ATC.

you give yourself the reason why to call here.

btw: (I dont have the picture here)
But never fold KK preflop!!!!!!


And since you raised (the red Hero indicates it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]), you played the hand perfectly fine.

Notice I said "calling" preflop bets with any two cards, very passive indeed. But in this instance, it was raising!

Hmmm....

no matter what, folding here is terrible

True true, with it being 25NL and the shallow stacks, I guess so!

After much deliberation I of course raised all in, to be called by AKs on the button and AA in the BB.

you see AKs called, it sucks that one had AA, but you cant fold it

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.... i'm not going to say anything other than we generally don't discuss this as a policy ... super sick spot though for sure

I never ever fold KK preflop, if I happen to be unlucky enough to run into pocket aces so be it.
