How is my line?

Knowing that one or both would call you anyway, would you have shoved preflop?

Re: 10/1 Final Table with KK How is my line?
 

yes i would shove preflop. or atleast 3b preflop
as played a call looks good to me. SB might have called with JT AT UTG with QQ ?

you can also just fold (conservative way) and watch one of them knokout and go up the ladder in money

how could you not push this or 3 bet preflop?

Re: 10/1 Final Table with KK How is my line?
 

This is a must raise (12K raise, push any flop, or push preflop). As played, flop is a call.

Re: 10/1 Final Table with KK How is my line?
 

I agree on the PF 3bet, and I'd just shove. As played, I'd bet less on the flop to try and give the illusion of FE for someone who decided they want to shove. Obviously call as played, since you have grossly underrepresented your hand.

i shove preflop here anytime - they might set you on a squeeze with a medium hand and call. there is already 11k in the pot preflop, and i wouldn't mind winning it preflop.

postflop is good

Re: 10/1 Final Table with KK How is my line?
 

OP, what is your line on the flop when an ace flops. are you folding to UTGs bet?

if the answer is yes, you should have shoved preflop.

if the answer is no, you should have shoved preflop.

if the answer is it depends, you should have shoved preflop.

at the very least, you should have popped this to 12-14k and shoved all flops instantly. i just shove this because $10 final tables are bad and will put you on a steal.

the call on the flop is obviously fine. your hand strength is well hidden adn the other two are expecting yuo to insta fold.
