Should I call the small reraise and look for an Ace on the flop, or is the push correct?

Thanks!! Also I'm new so give me feedback on if this an acceptable post.

The post is good, go into detail a little more if you can, but I like the shove here, you have 2 people calling your raise that are def way weaker than you, and the odds of shortcake having AA are slim, but you want to push them out to lessen the odds of someone improving their AQ 66 etc over your kings. welcome to 2+2 and GL.
PS I hate calling shorts min raise becuase youre letting the other 2 in cheaply as well, you pretty much would need a very safe flop to continue with the hand against 3 opponents

use a hand converter

Re: Bad play with KK in early tournament?
 

Push is just fine here, you've got a small stack relative to the blinds and you've got lots of indication that your push will be called - which is what you want with KK preflop.

yeah just shove pre flop - forget about waiting to see if an ace falls with such a short stack in a turbo MTT

Re: Bad play with KK in early tournament?
 

One of the reasons that you push preflop is to get AK/AQ/22-QQ to give you their whole stack when they might have folded postflop.

You should use a hand converter in future posts and you should also include any relevant reads including the way that you have been playing and the buy in amount.

However, this is all irrelevant in the hand posted as your hand plays itself.

You also might want to read the anthology sticky atop the page as a lot of useful information from amazing players is included in the stickied threads.
