Getting lots of money in the pot preflop with KK is a good play and is common knowledge, but I just added in the fact that pros advocate it since you seemed so against that when you say that only AA is calling.

Also like I said, playing KK slower against a single opponent isnt necessarily a bad play, but I dont think your play here is so exceptional that it deserves such hardcore defense.
Putting in a huge reraise is not "getting a bunch of money in the pot before the flop." It's telling dominated hands to fold and A-A to put you all-in.

And, um, I didn't slow-play anything.
I didnt say you slowplayed anything. I said that you played KK slower than most would have in this situation. I agree that putting a huge reraise allin preflop to a tiny minbet might not always be the best play, but this guy reraised you pretty fucking big. Why not get more of your chips in there instead of minraising against a huge re-raise? If he has AA then too bad, go kick your dog or something and hope for better luck next time.

Why minraise for information and value after such a huge re-raise? The pot is big, and he appears to be pretty much married to his hand so go ahead and get MORE value.

And, um, if all I'm going to get is attitude then I guess from now on I'll learn to mind my own business when you post.
