    Absolutely positively must make this call under all circumstances. If the guy just called with KK so be it, make a note and move on. That's the only hand he could have that beats you. At your stakes it's beyond 100%.

    If he had AQ clubs, such is life. (Same with JT).

    JT hearts to my left, and AKo across the table. I figgured it out. I'm still 50.5% to win this one. I hate the fact that I lost to JThearts tho. I was yelling "board pair, board pair" after the 9 hit.

    Don't ever fold this....you have only one hand that dominates you (KK) and one with good odds to beat you...unfortunately villain had exactly that hand. However, be happy you made the right call and move on...I insta-call that every time.

    Being results-oriented, are we? Well here's a result that makes the call more clear:


    Party Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
    3 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    Hero: $24.60
    SB: $55.05
    BB: $14.95

    Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is Button with Q Q
    Hero raises to $0.8, SB calls, BB folds.

    Flop: 4 A Q ($1.85, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $1.5, SB calls.

    Turn: 7 ($4.85, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $4.5, SB raises to $30, Hero calls all-in $17.8.
    Uncalled bets: $7.7 returned to SB.

    River: 2 ($49.45, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $49.45)


    Results:
    Final pot: $49.45
    SB shows A J
    Hero shows Q Q



    Okay, I know this isn't exactly the same...it's only 3-handed here, and there's no third player call-re-reraising on the flop. But still, it does involve Hero with a set of queens and villian slowplaying with a hand that is behind. This was the closest hand history I had compared to what happened in yours.

    Call-re-raise does indicate a strong hond, but consider the strength of your own...
