KK with 4 players left

Ward · #1 11-30-2006, 09:20 PM

40 dollar sit an go with 150-90-60 payout

4 players are left

Small Blind has 9700 left after posting 300
Big Blind has 1600 left after posting 600
I have 11300 and raise 1800 with KK and have 9500 left
Button with about 7000 folds

Small Blind, who has been playing tight and showing down good cards, reraises to 3600.

Big Blind goes all in.

What is my play? Do I lay it down hoping small blind takes out big blind? Call raise and see flop or push all in?

Push. You should virtually never fold KK four-handed when you are the big stack.

KK is still ahead of the probable range of SB and BB. If BB has AA, then you'll likely still pick up dead money from SB or the rest of SB's stack.

I didn't even read the body of your post, the title is enough. PUSH KK EVERY TIME YOU ARE ON THE BUBBLE (with about .0001% of an exception, if even that).

shove. KK is so strong and usually ahead of the SB's range as mentioned above.

Yes, this is a great hand to knock them both out with. If you don't play this and the small stack wins you'll kick yourself unconscious and finish out of the money.

Fold, I can't imagine you possibly posting this hand if at least one of them didn't have aa.

Gimme a break!

I pushed all in and was called by small blind

Small Blind AA
Big Blind AK
Me KK
AA Won the hand and Small blind was out forth.

I ended up with about 1000 and finished third and that is when I started to question my all in.

If the Big blind had won the main pot and the small won the side, I would have been in 4th position and very short stacked. Should I have been more concerned about where I might finish, than trying to put 2 player out at that stage of the sit and go?

Never, ever fold this. Stop being results oriented. How often is the SB going to have AA? Not often enough to ever consider folding KK here. Ever. EVER.
