Well against a deeper stack then i think you should play them a bit differently, unless of course he's being a bully and you have a read on him. but say the guy has 2 bucks, put em in. I mean even 3 id probably put them in. But you never want to be down to felt when your a deepstack. I mean it happens but you want to avoid it at all costs. Just because a book says do this do that dosnt mean you should expecially when you have a read (i know you know that). The book should be guidelines but nothing is set in stone. I'm not saying you should fold kings consistently everytime your faced with this choice. I'm saying theres ways to get more information and you have to go with the information you have and make the correct choice based on that information, not what a book says or a set in stone strategy. I only think you should have played them like i said above because of his stack, and his minraising is saying i have aces and i dont want to scare him so if i keep minraising i can just build the pot build the pot build the pot. I only push with aces when i know someone is gonna call me AI which usually it happens like this a 4x from me a reraise from someone else i either minraise or 3 bet depending on the type of player, depends if i smell QQ or KK in vilians hand, and i go from there. I usually get my aces cracked flip out and smash my pc. lmao jk. no but this is just boarder line of whats right and whats wrong. You coulda kept the pot a little smaller to see a flop and try to outplay him. Its a tough choice against a bigstack, against a small stack its not a choice at all.
