    Default back from the dead

    Havent posted in a while, so here it goes:
    In an attempt to lose less in 2 table turbo sngs on stars, i've been trying some new things with KK and QQ.....With just a few people in the pot, and a raise from ep, AK-thru ace anything is calling, especially with the turbos. So if an ace comes on the flop, i can make a laydown if needed and save some chips and anger from losing KK to A6o. So far, it seems to be working rather well:

    I don't like the flat call because the SB AND BB could botht decidet that they are getting a good enough price to call and now you are playing your big PP against 3 opponents.

    Personally I would have re-raised to put Mr. Monk all-in and played the hand heads up against him.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    Easy shove preflop. Why DON'T you want to get AI preflop with your KK against A6o?
