FTP 750K KK vs AA
Not sure if this is standard or not as this is my first tourney with this high of a buy in. Pretty much the title says it all, second hand in villain and I both have initial stacks. I raise to 70, he min raises to 120 and I flat call. Flop comes 942r and I c/r his 150 to 500, he min raises me to 850 I think, and I push. Obviously I lost with KK to his AA, I just wanted to know if this is standard or if anyone can find a fold here? Villain is unknown and sorry for no converter, this is all from memory.

I think you've got to take care of this pre-flop. Take it up to 460. If he comes over the top, push or fold depending on your risk preference for early tourney allins.

Re: FTP 750K KK vs AA
I usually re raise pf with KK obviously but I just felt like mixing it up this time. I was worried about AA but when he min raised me I figured he was an idiot which made me want to play a flop with him that much more. With the flop that came out I really figured he could stack off with 1010+ due to his fishy play, but I might have just been hopeful. Im trying not to be too results oriented which is why I really wanted to know if people can fold this here to an unknown.

Re: FTP 750K KK vs AA
Im not that strong in tournaments but wouldnt a reraise pf just add more to the pot since if he has 1010+ and a fish he'll probably call or push preflop anyway. and your still on screwed by 1 hand?
others can let me know if im wrong |

Re: FTP 750K KK vs AA
I'm never getting away from KK here. I might get away from QQ, given the fairly obv. min raises, but not KK. Agree with previous posters that I'm re-raising pre. I would call a shove in a heartbeat.

Calling his min-raise gives you no clues. Could be AA KK QQ , but could just as easily be villain getting cute with high SC or low PP or even AK, wanting to pre-sweeten a wonder flop. Pre-flop re-raise 3x-4x, he's probably not calling w/ < QQ+. Maybe he's a fish and has a problem laying down TT+, but that's why I don't fold KK pre-flop in tournies and bet / re-raise almost any flop hard. |
