    Default Would you play KK like this vs 2 maniacs?

    The two guys in the pot are pissed off at each other and they go all in every other hand. I played my kings slower preflop to get a little extra money in the pot. Trackcamel bought in with like 30 bucks and has just sucked out hand after hand - hes just in there gambling for fun so who knows what he had.
    Post flop, I just took it down. Would you do this?

    I had a feeling if I just went all in PF, he'd be outta the pot.

    I don't mind this play at all, it's almost a 1v1 sitution here because that guy is, like you said, going all in with all kinds of crap. So it's you vs trackamel who has a nice size stack, if he catches a little something on the flop you might just double or get a nice amount of his money.

    I really like just smooth-calling the allin to get his dumb money in the pot, and I like smacking his dumb hand with a big bet -- which you know he would've called with Qx -- once you got his 21 bucks. I think you found the middle ground here between playing a big pair too fast and too slow against a couple gamboolers. NH.

    i probably would have jsut thrown a bet out there on the flop and not gone all in... could create a side pot incase you are already behind to the player all-in(highly unlikely)... but might as well give it a try

    I didnt go all-in, although i was pretty close. My bet was the same size as the pot. The player who I bet out of the pot later said "nice bet, I had an ace."

    Any slower on this big of a pot and it would have been a disaster. Im always happy taking down a big pot right away anyways. Especially with only a pair in the hole.

    So thats my reasoning. Although I do understand what you guys are saying completely.
