    Im laying down kings here 0 percent of the time. Im shoving over 100 percent of the time.
    Who cares if he has a big hand. Theres only one big hand that matters here and you can't lay down kings in a SNG because you think someone has Aces.
    Just my opinion , but i can't see a laydown being jusitfied in any way shape or form ever in any SNG situation preflop.

    If the whole table full of nits had suddenly woken up and shoved over in unison, I might consider folding. Otherwise I agree with Detroit.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    I think i agree lol.
    Would you consider folding because:
    Your tournament equity would sky rocket if this was the case. I rather not play my Kings against 4 other players , since were probally ITM if this crazy scenario happened , and regardless were 2nd in chips (unless some crazy split pot type deal happens , which is probally less likely since this isn't jokerstars).

    Never ever ever ever fold in this spot. I shove over 100% of the time and would shove 110% of the time if there was such a thing.

    The limp-slightly-more-than-min-raise is a bit scary, but he could well be doing this with AK and QQ and won't lay down to a shove.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    ok, thanks for your help. i shoved and he showed me aces. right move, bad timing.

    other question: do you lay down QQ here?
