Default Re: Slow playing KK at final table short stacked

mornelth,
I think that raising to 18k with a 48k stack is pretty bad.

I actually don't mind the minraise here. My reasoning is that you are shortstacked and picking up an extra 6k in chips means a lot to you. Also, if the villain hits a pair or a draw then you are likely going to double up.

The problem with slowplaying with KK is that the ace seems to flop close to 99% of the time. If I am going to make this gamble with KK I am going to get my money in no matter what flops eventhough I might be drawing to 2 outs.

A push is also perfectly fine.
