Default Re: It Feels So Dirty To Want To Fold KK Preflop

I certainly can't argue that this isn't likely to be slightly +EV in general to shove. That's not the point I'm trying to make with this thread.

I'm trying to show 2 things.
1. It's possible that shoving is slightly -EV depending on how you weight his range.
2. It's VERY marginal even if it is "always" +ev.

wow! no one has thought of this before... there isn't thread after thread debunking what you are saying in the archives... people aren't taking you seriously because they can't think of the refutation, not that its been done over and over and over again.

There are a lot more productive things you can use your brain for than cooking up scenarios where it might possibly be marginally correct to fold KK preflop.

There are situations where you can fold KK preflop, you have to have an insane read and be able to remove QQ and AK from their 4betting range. So basically dont fold KK preflop.

Nothing like a little self-righteous sarcasm. I'm not trying to pretend to be Christopher [censored] Columbus here. I just think it's semi-interesting and much closer than the avg. 2p2er would think.
