KK vs short stack
 

No reads or stats. I think this is a call against a short stack but its probably close either way.

I think its a call, a shorty here could easily have just a Q. Also, if you are up against 2 pair/set/straight you still have a few outs to win/split the pot.

Snapcall. You're probably behind alot but you're getting like 3.5:1.

Sorry for the noobish questions, just when I lose every hand I play I start to re think em.

I agree. ERven against QJ we have about 27% Equity and he's prolly pushing soem of the pair + OESD combos as well.

Re: KK vs short stack
 

I would bet more on the flop. I think I call here, but folding really isn't bad IMO.

BEST case scenario is AQ here.. but this really looks like QQ or JJ to me more than anything.

Re: KK vs short stack
 

This is almost never a bluff. Villain usually thinks he has the winning hand. I think this would have been a tougher call with AQ, but with K's I think you have to call.

Re: KK vs short stack
 

I feel like QQ and JJ are raising from the button, or at least limp-raising, no? My best guess is QJ, J9, Q9, or QT, JT, but two pair seems more likely. Maybe 50% two pair, 40% pair + oesd, 10% random cards we beat? Anybody care to comment on that range?

Hand 0: 72.194% 72.06% 00.13% 51365 95.00 { KdKh }
Hand 1: 27.806% 27.67% 00.13% 19725 95.00 { 99, 44, AQs, KQs, QJs, Q9s, J9s+, AQo, KQo, QJo, Q9o, J9o+ }

We have &gt; 25% equity against a very generous range for a half-stack. Easy call.

Against a full stack I would smaller the pair + oesd part, but against a shorstack it prolly is a good assumption. But I think I'm stil giving him a tad more Two pairs than pair+oesd (solely based on Baluga, but I'm falling for this anyways, so I might not be correct).
