KK overpair on flop.

After a bit of thinking I decide that $27 is a good amount to bet with my overpair. Shorty pushes -- not a HUGE surprise. Mid-size stack CALLS. I figure him for a Q or a draw, I guess my folding equity at zero, and I decide to punish him for his hand. I assume I'm at least ahead in the main pot and I could easily be ahead in the side pot, too. Given that I can't imagine folding the hand at this point, I think pushing is better than calling.</font> Thoughts?

Re: KK overpair on flop.
Reads? I could not do this without a read on UTG.
I'm calling a shorty all day long though. I don't think we are all that ahead of UTG. Just calling in this position, as opposed to pushing, is generally a sign of strength.

Re: KK overpair on flop.
Yeah, you know it, raise a bit more preflop *especially* when you got alot of shortstack idiots at your table.. On the flop, if it was HU I am very happy to call - BUT since you got UTG coldcalling that massive raise I think it's best just to fold. I could be wrong, but that's my instinct.

Re: KK overpair on flop.
Raising to 4x instead of 5x preflop isn't a big mistake really - the chances are that they'll all call either way. I also fold flop. These kinds of situations are easy to talk yourself into, but I prefer not to.

Re: KK overpair on flop.
As hard as it is, I think you have to fold that flop when UTG calls the shorty push. I probably get into that hand, though, planning to stack off against a couple short stacks on any aceless board, so I don't know if I actually find a fold. That call from UTG is super strong without a read that he is a mega-donk.

Re: KK overpair on flop.
Fold after UTG called.
