175 bbs, KK pre

minwoo · #1 08-04-2007, 02:21 PM

Trying to get max value here w/ KK. Regulars seem to just push all-in in spots like this. Is this the optimal play? What about calling and pushing first on the flop? Effective stacks are about 175 bbs. Is this EVER a fold with our stacks? Villain is a multitabling regular running at 19/17/5 over 373 hands.

I shove this every time. Especially if I have 3 bet him a few times in the past and he might be playing back at me.

Someone recently said, this only gets interesting about 400bbs deep.

I agree.

Shove.

Shove - so what if he has aces - no more decisions to make. Are you folding to an ace on the flop if you just call?

never fold KK preflop unless PFR is like 1 over a bit of hands lulz

I shoved and got rocketed up my ass. No problem. I'm curious though as to how deep we have to be for this NOT to be a shove. And at those deep stacks, what are our options in a hand like this? 5-bet pre and fold to anymore action or call the raise pre, check-call flop and shut down turn, etc.
