Default Final table, KK UTG raises and is re-raised allin ...

Final table B&M NLHE tourney, top 6 pay, average stack size is 24K, blinds 2K/4K. Hero is chip leader and has 41K, Villian has 2nd highest stack at 33K. Hero has no reads on Villian.

Hero is UTG and raises to 15K with KK. Folds to Villian on MP2 who raises allin. Folded to Hero. Hero?

Call as fast as is humanly possible and then go on ultra-tilt when villian turns over AA.

This is exactly what you wanted, you have to call. If you were afraid of being set almost all-in you should have just open-pushed...you only have 10xBB.

And by the way, unless you have a strong read that he has an overpair to your two low cards or low pair, you have to call with anything here even if you were bluffing.

This is not even close. There is literally no good argument for folding. He probably has a good hand if he understands the concept of fold equity (and would see he probably doesn't have any), but in the absence of reads this is an EASY call. Even without antes you only have about 4 orbits to survive after folding, and if you win this pot you have a very good shot at winning the tournament. 3 to 1 at this stage...I'd certainly call with less...

Call, see AA, pretend there's a way you could have folded and post the hand on the MTT forum so you can get mocked?

Seriously, the fact that you're even posting this means he had AA or you took a bad beat. Otherwise, what possible reason would you have for posting it?
