$114 - Preflop FPS with KK

mackthefork · #1 10-24-2006, 08:48 PM

Got fancy with KK, trying to get action, got into difficulty postflop, and had no idea where I was, is pushing and not getting called a better option? I had this guy as a little LAG, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I dont hate the limp but shove after his raise.
Limp/calling is acceptable with AA but not KK.

Seems sensible, I would normally raise myself, but I didn't, I guess not pushing over his raise makes it even worse, this is telling me what I know myself.

Thanks Mack

Plenty fine. I have FPSd myself to death much worse than this. It's not a sin to do what you did preflop but just don't get in a habit of it. Shove when you get the raise you wanted.

proceed to kick yourself in the nuts for not playing this better

limping EP and then shoving over a raise sets off warning bells in my mind, not sure why you dont just open raise, unless your opponent are horrible and always raise PF and then call shoves there is no reason to deviate from the norm here. especially if you cant get away from this when the ace flops and you see 2 bets
