    Default Really boring KK hand

    Any way I can find a fold here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP ($8.35)
    Button ($39.20)
    SB ($32.60)
    BB ($45.35)
    Hero ($69.50)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, K.
    Hero raises to $2, 2 folds, SB calls $1.75, BB raises to $45.35, Hero?

    Any reads at all on opp? Pokertracker #'s? Barring any reads, I take the chance that it's not one of those 24 times he's holding AA while I hold KK and call.

    Passive guy, limped into every pot and hardly ever raised.

    That statistic seems very irrelevant unless you see someone go all-in like this every single time you have KK.

    I call here. He'd value raise with AA here I think. Smells like a pair of Jacks.

    How could this SMELL like Jacks? AA/KK/QQ/AK do this all the time - so do many other hands. Call and reload if beat. When is Fnord going to get that sticky up?

    Fnord can put up a sticky if he wants to, but the fact is there are plenty of players who are bad enough to play AA in a manner that makes it completely obvious that they have AA, because they wouldn't play any other hands that way. I think it's possible to find a fold against such a player.

    I didn't think I had enough info on this guy to fold, but I would say that this is basically never JJ unless it's an idiot who likes to go all-in all the time.

    wellllllll since you didn't give a read, call.

    Call, say thanks, and reload just in case you lose.

    I hate it when I have like 2 bucks on the next hand and get dealt AA...

    If you think he's got AA, go ahead and dump it while it's cheap. Would he play AK like this?

    I really don't think it matters what you do all that much.
