(25nl) Is KK broken these days?

[Im_new]

hmmm....I feel like such a newb...but its seems more in NL than in SNG that people only stack-off with AA only. (though this is over a small sample size).

In a vacuum at these tables, is it correct to still stack off with KK?

Is it still correct to stack off against the nit at the table?

[Muzzard]

of course ppl stack off with less than AA! Ppl are stacking odff with allsorts depending on stacksizes

[Im_new]

yea... I'm most concerned about stacking off against a nit with say a $25 stack (same as you).... where does he become too nitty? If he were 9.2/x, and he re-raised you preflop...are you getting it in?

Raise size, your position, his position, your history vs him does matter here, but folding preflop is still not an option if you have reasonably aggressive game.

That's pretty interesting considering hand two in this thread:

that's 150bb deep, facing a 4-bet, with reads.
Standard advice is never fold KK pre up to 100bb deep. The deeper the stacks and the bigger the reads/action, the less this holds.

got it...thanks

I prefer to think "never put yourself in a position to have to cold KK preflop." If you think he 3bet calling range/ fourbetting range is really really narrow, don't 3bet. If you are considering whether to 4bet, if all he's getting in preflop is AA then don't 4bet. easy.

yea... I agree with ya. I just ran into AA 4 times in a row with KK and was kinda annoyed/steamed. Not to mention that I'm new to cash tables (coming from 6+ tabling sngs) . In an SNG, I'm getting AI all the damn time without thinking twice.
