Re: Live 1/2 Pocket K\'s facing post flop push
I probably would have just reraised to $76 preflop forcing everybody out and making the shorty decide preflop whether he wants to play for his stack or not.
As played, I'd probably call. He will often have an ace. But he probably plays every other hand that he calls with preflop the same way (i.e. TT-AA, AT-AK).
Board: Ah 6s 4c
Hand 0: 68.182% { TT+, ATs+, ATo+ }
Hand 1: 31.818% { KdKh }
It's close, but you're getting about 2.3 to 1 pot odds with about 2.1 to 1 (against) equity. The payoff is a little bigger than the risk.
It is highly unlikely that he just check-folds this flop after committing that much preflop even if he doesn't have an ace. So, his best defense without an ace is a good offense. Given the pot odds, you should therefore call.
