    It's probably pretty obvious he had AA, if I'm posting a KK hand, so I just left the results in. He pushed the last $35 in very fast, and I thought he had AA, but called anyway. I've always said never lay down KK in ring games, but I just felt like he had AA. Should I still call, hoping he has 1010-QQ, AK?

    It's short-handed and he's only 40bb deep. Two great reasons to play for stacks here and not think twice.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    Even with 100BB stacks, I wouldn't like a fold here. As is, it's not even a discussion.. easy call.

    Even I wouldnt fold KK here...

    If the stacks were 100BB AND he was a tight player, I still wouldnt fold KK here.

    And I'm the one that is willing to fold KK preflop

    Q. Is poker Gambling?
    A. Do you use correct bankroll management?

    I dont fold here, you might have gotten lucky to win, but you made the right move regardless of win/loss
