    maybe so, but how can you get such a sure fire read that he only raises KK/AA? i think that's the point iopq was trying to make

    unless you had like a 50k hand database on him and he 3bets only 0.9% of hands, then maybe

    you do not need 50k hands on a player to understand how they play

    what makes you so certain he only 3bets KK/AA then? i'm interested in how you've come to this conclusion about his playing style

    he might still 3b QQ+ and just not get that many high pairs over the however many hundred hands you have on him

    for this stat to be accurate, you probably need at least 2K hands with him 3betting less than half of a percent

    First of all, Quit fking quoting each other 1000 tymes.

    Second of all, According to my latest QandA thread, sure you can fold KK preflop.

    NOT. Don't fold, go AI You are chopping or loosing plenty. I know it doesn't seem to make sense, but do it. I'm sure others will chime in and give you good solid reasoning, but trust me.

    super easy fold given that he definitly has KK+.

    Its not a very likely situation though. A far more likely situation is a nit who probably 3 bets more than AA/KK 3 betting to say 12bb and then 5bet shoving when he almost certainly has KK+. At this point we are getting massive pot odds and we still arent 100% sure he has KK+ so it usually becomes a call.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Pot is 105.5 bbs and it's 96 to call. We need 3:1. Fold.

    You don't need anywhere close to 50k hands. A few k hands should be enough to get a somewhat decent 3b%.

    what is the beginner's forum coming to?

    OP, why did you ask this question, when the answer is painfully obvious. If he has either AA/KK and you kill 5/6 KK combinations it looks pretty much like the easiest fold ever.

    Holy shit. This is DEFF. the first time I've EVER! seen FTR BC say fold KK preflop at the micro's EVER, even when others say "omfg this guy is a super nit, can I fold?" All you hear is "OMFG NO NO NO NO NO NO NO"

    this is pretty ground breaking to me.

    I can't freaking believe I'm the first one.

    What's the sample size?
    What do these stats mean over a sample of 10, 100, 1k hands?
    How has he been playing at this table so far. What was the last hand he was involved in?

    lol that's not what anyone said at all

    everyone is saying, if you have KK and you know he has KK+, you should fold.

    however, since you never can know, don't fold KK when someone shoves at the micros.

    So... I said that everyone said you should NEVER fold KK preflop. And you said "that's not what they said at all"
    Then you said you should NEVER fold KK preflop.

    I"m most deff. confused here. EDIT: Actually, I'm not. Everyone(before this thread) said you should NEVER fold KK pre, and then you said you should NEVER fold KK pre. I'm track'n.

    There are no stats. We have a magic hat and know he has KK+.

    Oh, ok.
    I did not know that.

    Anyway. Still... good exercise to figure out at which sample size you can say with some confidence that he's only 3-betting AA, KK. The two crucial factors are: how often does one get AA or KK, and how often does he get a chance to 3-bet them. - The second part is trickier - maybe PT can help, otherwise just count it out. Consider position.

    i guess you have never heard of poker tracker or hem. they do this amazing thing that lets you know how often a player 3 bets preflop. Word of advise if you go with pt be sure to get pt3.

    oh and to fold kk pf i would need atlesst 1k hands on a player then my KK would have to be behind his 3-betting range
  29. #29
    this is kinda off subject but at micro stakes i'm not sure that we aren't better of just shoving with kings versus a raise. villans that raise pf will cal our shove with such a wide range.

    What's really retarded about this scenario, is that it's true if villain range was DEFFINATELY KK+ It's LOL ezfold er w/e, but none of the regs that usually say don't fold KK pre, haven't tried to explain to the beginners here in the forum that villains range at micro's ISN'T KK+. Maybe they have changed their opinions of late. So Basicly by NOT mentioning anything about villains ACTUAL range at the micro's, then it's ok to fold KK pre to a super tight player according to Spenda,Spoon, and w/e other regs said to fold.

    I don't get the problem here.

    If it's obvious he has KK+ then fold. If not, ship it!

    The answer is to push all in

    because we're never supposed to fold King's pre

    Even if we know for a fact he holds either King's or Aces

    This post makes total sense

    just stop please. you are putting words in ppl's mouths. i dunno how you think that ppl saying to fold KK in the OP's scenario = fold KK preflop to tight players at micros always. i'm pretty sure no one else in this thread came to that conclusion so just stop. this really isn't that complicated.
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    I'd never fold KK pf, just consider how many donks move in with TT+ or even AQ/AK. At some tables it is often very profitable to just push yourself with the kings or aces if there has been a raise before you. I once got called AI pf by three players, QQ, 77 and AQs. Of course the guy with 77 sucked out and flopped quads, but that's not the point here...
    About his stats, how can one possibly know exactly which hands someone goes all in preflop with? Which program do you use?

    Re-read the OP, then read everyone else's comments, and I hope you change your mind here.
