There was a thread a few days ago (in micro NL?) about NEVER folding KK preflop for 100BB. But a min raise 4bet followed by an all in raise from shorty UTG? Plus if you call then you may get BB reraising all in. You only have $12 invested in this hand so the question is...are you willing to stack off w/ KK given this PF action? A few PT stats would be really helpful here to get an idea about how often BB & UTG raise PF.

Reasons to find a fold:

(1) you have 150 BB, not 100.

(2) your call of all in push from UTG PF doesn't close the betting so you may get reraised all in from BB.

(3) minraise from BB after you 3-bet may be a pot sweetner to entice a call.

(4) there are fewer combinations of AK since you've got 2 in your hand.


Reasons to call (or raise):

(1) you have KK & your 3bet may look like a standard raise w/ a good but not great pair (99 to QQ) or AK given that you are OOP. if your range is that wide, then BB or UTG may not necessarily have AA.

(2) does UTG tilting? (or just playing aggressively w/ a short stack w/ a good but not great pair or AK PF?)

(3) your pot odds for the call are not bad (abt 3:1).

This is a really tough spot. But I am not capable of folding KK PF so I would push all in, say a brief prayer to the FE gods & hope that BB calls & has QQ.

NOTE: I would also throw mouse across room if BB turns over AA.
