KK - Part III
kinboshi:
OK, everyone"s favourite hand - KK.
Our hero is in an APAT National, it"s early doors, in fact it"s the first level and the blinds are still 25/50.
Our Hero looks down to see ks kh, and they"re second to act.
Hero raises to 175.
That"s probably fairly standard? Anyone play that differently here?
Someone in middle position calls. Then the cut-off re-raises to 500 to play.
Our hero then re-raises to 1,500.
Do you like the re-raise? If you don"t, why not? If you do, what are you trying to achieve?
Middle position then calls.
The cut-off then re-raises to 5,000.
What do you do now?

Early position and this early in the tourney I may limp and see if anyone else raises. If they do I might just call rather than re-raising but I'm also more than prepared to ditch the K's if I don't like how things are proceeding after the flop.
I know this is a bad way to play K's but this early I'm not that keen on getting involved for what could end up being all my chips.

Ok assuming I did the right thing and raised in the 1st place I would re-raise here as I want to know where I stand. 1,500 to 2,000

Well it's all in or fold and I'm not going all in this early without A's (I'm such a chicken at times :-[)
hi_am_chris:
what hand could they possibly re re raise you with? Depends on your read of the player but most players would only do that with AA or possibly KK so ur either splitting or well behind. Maybe tiny chance of QQ but maybe they would have called to see the flop or raised bigger. Surely with AK they would have flat called your re re raise :S i dunno im lost now lol
Mikeyboy9361:
As usual I tend to agree with our hero, I might have only re raised to 1000, but we"re only splitting hairs. So with that big a re re raise you have to be up against Aces or AK, or playing Buster Gonad!
So this early in the tourney it is a fold. I laid "em down in a cash game at the weekend after the flop 3 3 A, I raised the original bet, and he moved all in for about $100, couldn"t afford to lose that! In a tourney i would have called , I think! ;)

Yep, Fold. But then, I"m notoriously tight! And crap!
