i keep wondering why high stakes players always say "shove xxx in a 5 dollar tourney" yes there is merit to it, but not every time. in a 5.5, a guy taking this line has KK/AA 80-90% of the time. every other hand usually is either flatcalling the 3 bet or shoving it

80-90? Maybe 10-20%... and I'm not a "high stakes player". We are talking about the start of the tourney and not the end right? You're just as likely to see jacks, tens, AJ, AQ, or AK... I'm instashoving at the start of a $5 for this reason.

lol

you know any overcards or even jacks arent playing it like that?

From the betting back and forth, the villain seems to be a good player trying to get value from a very strong hand. Do not know if you had any info prior to this hand. If he pushes on your raise you read "Donk" and probably call his push.
Nice Fold!

lol...ya.. well described.

I switched to stars only 3 days ago and that is precisley the junk I saw. It's a beautiful donkfest for the first 20 minutes. It is not 80-90% kk aa. It's not even 50 -50. Half the players will call the rr, slow play and stack off with aa kk for gawd sake.

nope they arent slowplaying AA/KK, they dont know how after rasing. they WILL make small reraises though, and JJ/overcards will be flat calling/shoving to the 3bet
