reads?

I can see lesser hands than AA making this play shorthanded...

Call. If its AA, hope for a K. Otherwise, you are the dominant hand. Any read at all? Its hard to read AA, as a tight/conservative player may make QQ as valuable as AA (in which you are you busy counting their chips to make sure they gave you the right amount)

[outphase]

I'd call. Then again, I'm not one of those players who ever lets KK go. QQ and less, maybe, but not KK. Pay off AA if it happens, own AK and below.

Call every time. KK is a hand that you never fold preflop, if you run into AA you're just unlucky.

Easiest call of your life.

Most of the time when I think an op has AA he has AK or QQ.

It was meant to be

Happy days.

Don't let that hand make you reluctant to fold to big all ins preflop with KK, you call that every time.

[dodgerfan29]

indeed..sexy hand btw :>

[SmackinYaUp]

I always think I'm up against AA in these situations as well, but thats not usually the case. Its always easier to be the one pushing.

By the way, nice catch fish.

Not to steal your topic, Muxy, but I think posting it here would be easier.

Is this the same principle, to never fold KK preflop? Or because it's a 3rd raiser, should I call and see a flop?

So guys what if 2 full stacks are all-in before you? Is this the time to lay KK??

[spino1i]

In 6-max you should never lay down KK pre-flop period. Even if two guys are already all-in. In 10-max you should consider it, but I rarely laly down KK in 10-max pre-flop either. Its just bad business lol!

[Sykedupp]

Laying down KK in any situation preflop is like saying "I have AA but I'm gonna lay it down cause I might get sucked out"

Only time i'd even CONSIDER it is if i won a seat into like a $500,000+ MTT, and was on the bubble with a big stack and a bigger stack pushed.

Ring, I'm never folding.


6-Max, I w3t myself then call.
