Folding Kings pre flop
ThinkerJE:
I know this is an old one, but we got into quite a heated debate at the pub on Friday regarding the following situation.
APAT National live event, level one blinds 25-50, 10,000 starting stack, no information about the players on your table. Raise from middle position to 200, all fold to you on the button with KK. You re-raise to 800, blinds fold and original raiser quickly moves all in for 10k. Call or fold???
Insta fold for me.
Thoughts...
monkeyman:
early in the event and with no info that is a fold
JTITMike:
Hmm. Not sure I remember the discussion about a raise and re-raise before the all-in move. I see you couldn"t resist putting your "insta-fold" bias on it already.
Anyway, just because you"re a global moderator, don"t be tempted to remove any posts that argue against your rock-like tendencies. ::)

i"d struggle to fold here but thats possibly more an indication of my ability than an opinion on what the "correct" move is. most early exits in APAT events seem to be AA v KK so maybe i should struggle less.
I think a lot of pros who play big tourneys week in week out would call and if its AA (it doesn"t have to be AA though in which case you are a massive favourite and if it is you can still suck out) and an early exit just shrug it off and find a cash table to win their buy in back.
I know this may be thread jacking but what about:
APAT regional live event, level one blinds 25-50, 3,000 starting stack, no information about the players on your table. Raise from middle position to 200, all fold to you on the button with KK. You re-raise to 800, blinds fold and original raiser quickly moves all in for 3k. Call or fold???
I"d insta call
thoughts??
