Default Common spot, what do we do here again?

Taggy button or CO open-pots it, taggy Button/SB repots. You sit in the BB with AA/KK. Assume 100BB stacks. Now what? And is KK=AA?

kinda tough without knowing more specifics about initial pfr. if he is the type to call with a sc or a small pp i would lean more towards a call. i would also lean towards a call if neither has ever seen you bluff here cause it seems like qq has an ez fold and then obv everything else worse than that too if you 4-bet. and with these stacks i would say kk pretty much = aa. one more thing...i wish this was a common spot.

just happened to me, and I considered making a thread, interested to see thoughts here.

I had KK and just pushed??? to rep QQ JJ or AK AQs in my range.

SB was fairly laggy and folded without too much thought.

I was unhappy with the result but didn't really know what else to do.

if you like to 4-bet light, 4-bet. if you like to coldcall light, coldcall.

i'd be more likely to coldcall AA than KK, if only because i dont want to see an ace flop after i coldcall

i usually reraise (most of the time it's a push)

it just seems that cold-calling is too obviously a big hand and gives the original raiser a decent price and implied odds to call and outflop you.

Shove KK and AK to make it unprofitable for QQ- to call.

Cold call AA and other random hands.

yah, this is what I have tended to think too. Also we let the rr'er take a flop free and he more-or-less knows what we have. Seems really bad OOP. I sure can't imagne that I'm gonna start cold-calling reraises with weak hands to balance doing it with AA/KK.

OTOH pushing KK seems dumb because I only seem to get called by KK+. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img].
