Call or RR.

Paired board makes it less likely he has a set.

You have position. I like calling him down.

Hero reraises to $7, UTG shoves. Hero?

Re: 25NL KK vs paired board. What\'s my line?
 

His shove is for what, $6 over your raise to $7?

It sucks, but I call.

Re: 25NL KK vs paired board. What\'s my line?
 

Once you reraise the flop you are pot committed because of his stack size. He does only have like $6 on top so you are getting like 4 to 1 to call. I don't like it but I think you have to call.

Personally, with position I smooth call his flop reraise.

Yeah that's what I thought. I called the shove and he showed A-10. I'll try playing situations like these a bit slower when I'm in position.

i thought you are BB, villain is UTG, why do you say you have position?

Yeah you appear to be in the BB. Calling here is fine for pot control but it's going to get us in trouble in future streets OOP. I like the RR here.

Was quoting earlier post...my mistake. I was OOP. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

i think raising tend to make worse hand fold, and better hand call. i prefer calling, but yeah being OOP it's going to be tough to play on later street.
