Pocket Kings in a cash game

(1/3) > >>

ThinkerJE:
Here is the setup;

Just opened a $0.50/$1.00, 40-100bb cash table on Pokerstars and bought in for $100.  No information on any of the players and this happens on hand 3.

UTG raises to $2.50 and I find KK in mid position.  I 3 bet to $6.90 and the BB flats.  UTG then 4 bets to $15 total.  I flat to take a flop in position.  However BB is all in for $110 and UTG is all in for $190!!!  

$85 back and I tank.  What do you do?

Newportlad:
Fold

Pretty sure that UTG has Aces here.  BB probably has AK.

mal666:
Call.

You don"t know the history between these two, for all you know they have been going at each other light.

I hate it but with a chance to triple up and cash out with the (current) second nuts I call and if one of them has AA then so be it.

For what it"s worth, I would have 5-bet/shoved it. The money is going in anyway might as well see if there is any fold equity out there.

LongshanksED:
Pre I"m probably making $8. Your raise is pretty much a little more than a min raise

When UTG re raises I"m jamming it all in. I"d imagine the BB has a big hand or is set mining. Chances are with one raising Oop and the other flatting I reckon I have the best hand and probably up against 2 pocket pairs or one pair and an AK/AQ type hand  neither and If I put one on Ax then the chances of AA being held by the other is unlikely

Although I don"t hate the flat in position, I"m always re raising all in. BB probably had ak and your flat looks a bit weaker and he figures his squeeze with AK is at worst 50/50
