Default Maybe easy pre-flop question with KK

3/5 $300 at Tulalip

Very second hand, I'm dealt KK in SB

3 people limp. I raise to 35

BB goes, "Wow, 35 huh?" He makes it 70, and he covers.

Maybe he's trying to re-steal, I don't know. Probably not, at this level.

My plan was, if at least one caller, I'm shoving. Otherwise, I'm gonna flat call and CRAI (or call a push) on any non-A flop.

okay? Or just shove regardless?

shove. less than 100 BBs its never even close. I think you can look at his comment as AA though. Unless you have alot of history or something, I shove ez ez ez.

I Guess hes pretending to think that 35 is alot. if he thought it was alot he would call or fold, not raise. but still dont fold.

Yea sounds like a good idea. If A flops, i c/c on flop and c/f to later aggression. You COULD reraise with a little speech lol. He seems like kinda an idiot, so you could kinda play it straightforward and reraise, b/c people who give speeches like this can't fold AK preflop or JJ or QQ. The only reason to shove it in preflop is b/c AK is willing to stick it in preflop, but if it misses postflop, it will often jus check it down or fold to a bet... and if an overcard flops to JJ or QQ it can often kill ur action... with these stack sizes you can probably get it in preflop; I'd try c/rai on flop with stack sizes closer to $500.

Indeed it does, but I was thinking double-up on 2nd hand = yummy

My thinking was, against AA or QQ prolly gonna get the same result either way, but maybe he can get away from JJ or TT if I shove now. I don't know if this outweighs the possibility of letting overcards kill my action.

I just really wanted a double stack in this game.

hahaha, you got the speech and the min raise. If that's not a sign of strength I don't know what is.

Shove!
