I dont understand how people can be so stupid

Was playing $1 NL on AP and on the button i picked up KK I am up to about 90 or so from 40, i raise the bb to $5 and the guy to my left reraises it to 15 i think about it for a second and then push he calls and flips over 55 but of course he has to hit his set on the flop, what would make someone think they are ahead preflop with 55 after getting reraised all in?

heh, they probably feel they are a coin-flip. From my experience I notice alot of people just love to gamble.

After taking Worse beats, including that to a 9 3 suited (He wasnt on the blind, mind you) I figured that Multi table tournaments are the way to go. So far I have won more in the MTT's than in any ring game. the return on investment is far better.

Sounds to me like the typical case of a guy who has learned all he knows about poker from Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patton. They have no clue about the difference between a ring game and the late stages of a tourney, and think that because someone on the WPT called an all-in with a low pair with 3 people left then that must be a FINE stradegy.

Definitely been watchin too muc WPT...people don't realize that guys sit at the table there for hours...playing 2-3 hands per hour. So, they see a pp, and its like GOLD, you just got unlucky, and thats poker. You got ur money in wit the best of it, the only thing i think is just calling his reraise, if no Ace flops...push it in, if one does, u can get away from it, if u want, or not.

I've learned to play AA an KK strong pre-flop, instead of ur 5, like 10, and if someoen calls, u know they have a hand, they also might put u on a low pp, and if u dont get any action. At least u won a pot, and didnt get some dummy calling u wit garbage...I also like to play them semi-slow after the flop...just because if J107 or two suits come out...people dont know u have aces, they are gonna call on draws of KQ, 89, 109, JQ, flush draws...cuz they refuse to lay them down to whatever bet. But u stand, if u push all in...and they hit to lose a huge pot...remember you only have pair of ACES or KINGS...that's it. Pre-flop great...but u never know what people online will call wit
