KK: being reraised preflop?

Kost · #1 02-25-2007, 05:16 PM

Blinds 50/100. Played almost 1 hour. Ca. 1500 players entered the tournament. Every one is smallstacked (M around 10) at the table excpet me and another guy with 7000 and a bigstack with 12000 (he is new at the table).

I pick up KK in UTG+1 and raise to 300, everyone folds to the bigstack who is on the button. He reraises to 800. Me???

I would call the 800 since it looks like just you two will go to the flop and you have Kings. Then I would just play poker post-flop and play the hand out from there.

I like a call here too.

4-betting gets hard because of stack sizes.

If you push he'll probably lay down anything but AA, KK, maybe QQ and AK. You're 57/43 against this range.

Flatcalling you're pretty much lost when an Ace comes on the flop one third of the time; check-folding an Ace hi flop is way too weak, and c-betting is going to cost you too much of your stack.

The advantage of pushing is that you represent AK pretty well.

EDIT: Hadn't seen it was a freeroll. Push.

So if I called preflop and the flop came, let's say 9 high rainbow. Then I win the pot If he got AK, double up if he got QQ and loose my whole stack if he got AA.

I pushed. He had AA.

Yeah I don't think he folds AK if you shove here.

And it's a freeroll, push.
