If you push preflop with KK and get someone to call, you did the right thing.

I fail to understand. Why would a thinking player ever call here with anything less than QQ?

In this situation, there is no read that he is up against a thinking player. Plus, he is playing 25NL which makes it that much better for this play to succeed.

how about the argument that against an unknown you could be losing value against smaller pairs that want to see the flop and will call a small 3 bet thus extracting more value.

no way. PF with an all in and a caller. PUSH!!!! with KK
If there's another big stack in the hand, it might give you some pause. But, not with those stacks.

so you typically jam 3x the pot with a big pair?

b/c he may believe that you are trying to get hu w/the tilting shorty.

but do you think it would be worth it to get all your money in with 1010 or JJ knowing often its domination or a flip? This topic makes me feel like a huge nit lol
