    Default KK on the bubble

    5$ SNG on Party Poker
    I'm the big stack on the bubble and I've seen my opponents call 3XBB PFR with marginal hands like QTo and Ax. I'm UTG and I get dealt KK. The BB representing about 1/5 - 1/6 of the rest of the opponents stack should I have just limped in and try to trap them instead of raising (even knowing they call with crap)...
    Don't ask about my table image . The play is horrible, they don't notice for sure

    This bet has only 2 certain outcomes. Either an over the top all in or folded around to you. None of them can call without expecting to put the rest of their chips in the middle after the flop. The problem with this bet is that it holds a lot of fold equity, likely leaving you with the blinds. However, HU against an opponenent you are more than likely way ahead. Also, being the big stack this can look like a bully raise, and especially at this level, they could go over the top with some very weak hands.
