Marty719:
Villain also has worse K"s in his range BvB. I really dislike folding a lot (in general yes, but especially in this spot). People do weird things bvb...
Jon MW:
I"d shove pre as a semi bluff
If he folds (as he will most of the time) you"ve added over 10% to your stack, if he calls you"re "likely" to be about 2:1 underdog (hence why it"s a semi bluff not a value shove) - but you"re getting pretty short stacked, if you"re not going to take a risk now then how bad does your situation have to be before you do?

Really, you expect villain bets 3 streets with K2,K4,K5,K7 and K8, villain could also have K3,K6,K9,KJ,KQ,KK and AK.
Even allowing for villain betting 3 streets with worse K"s (highly improbable imho) we face a range of 5 combos of weaker K"s versus 7 combos that beat us, villain can also have air, A3, 33, 66, and 99. The nett result for me is a trivial fold.
We will of course on rare occasion, fold the best hand but more often we make the correct decision.
Tiger-flash:
mmmmmmmmmmm, tricky one this, imho i dont like playing k 10 at any time, when the board shows a paired flop its time to throw away. The villain could have a pocker pair, a3 or aj to ak or two hearts and just kept firing, i would let it go, two out of three times the flop hits nothing for you anyway and against an action junkie id wait for a big hand for him to hang himself. Put it this way, three bets, three calls, you lose or fold with the best hand, you lose, its your choice. If he did have a pocket pair you have to call but when he bets the turn and the river that to me smells danger ;)
