    Default This has been bugging me

    A couple days ago I was in a $3 +.30 on Stars and ran really good. I got to the final table and was sitting there third in chips with eight left. Then this shit happened (Sorry don't have the HH). Blinds 2K/4K, with an ante (I forget what it is at this level). My stack is about 115K. Anyways, I pick up KK in MP. UTG is the big stack with about 325K. He opens for 8K. I raise to 20K. The CO is the second stack with about 150K. He pushes. Big stack calls. I instacalled as well. Even though I had a monster, should I have considered folding this? Can't exactly remember the other stack sizes at the table, but I don't think anyone was within one orbit of being all-in.

    I happily call this all day
    Win this pot equals quite large chip lead and closer to first place.

    You're only worried by aces and if that happens its just unlucky at this stage. I take my chances.

    Well anyways, here's what happened. The second stack turned over 77 and the big stack turned over AQo. According to PokerStove, I will win this hand 56% of the time. Does a call seem so automatic now? Keep the stack sizes in mind.

    no, it seems much more automatic now that we have eliminated AA. you are a 56 % favorite GETTING 2/1. try reading your signature.

    PS if your arguement is going to involve moving up a step or two in the pay ladder if you had FOLDED KK PRE FLOP, it is a bad arguement.

    Okay, good, at least my second guessing myself was a bad argument, and not my initial instict of insta-calling happily. The second stack guy flopped a 7 and I got railed in eighth. I really felt like I was going to win this one. I guess the bad beat just got to me.
