Are you kidding?

KK is the kind of hand you want to call with a push!!!

Im calling here with AA,kk,qq,ak

Chips in, eyes closed, fingers crossed.

If you fold here, you're basically - at least subconciously - hoping that the other short stack is blinded out first and you get to hang on for third - not an optimum strategy in my book.

Yes, he might habe AA or he might outdraw you, but you've gotta get your money in sometime, double up here and you give yourself at least half a chance of improving beyond 3rd spot.

Calling with AK here would be horrible.

I think the fact that CO is raising, with SB still to act brings his range down quite a bit, I don't think he's loose enough to call with QQ here in fact.

But KK is a clear call, as pretty much it always is.

Only consider this a fold if other shortie was all-in and had you covered.
