    Default KK Preflop

    Playing 5 dollar SNG on Full Tilt get dealt KK under the gun I raise it 5x and it gets around to guy 1 off button he reraises it, double what i raised, I call he has aces im left with 400 chips catch JJ get back to 2k chips and 7 hands later KK UTG again raise it 5x same guy rereaises double i push he has AA again, should I have folded in these situations? I didn't think I would be dominated both times
    If there wern't luck involed i guess id win everyone

    I don't want to even think of the chances of that happening. In fact, I could probably count on two hands the number of times I have lost KK to AA, let alone to the same guy.

    First one, What you going to do? Fold KK to a min raise? I assume he was allin at that point. You gotta play them.

    Same with the second one. You can't fold KK unless you have some dead read on the guy, and by that I mean hes got a fucking marching band and billboard behind him that says I HAVE ACES.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    If you just even think about folding KK in a SNG one more time I will go at your place and beat your ass as hell!!!

    Well... I dont have the time for that, but you definately have to reraise him in both situations.

    KJ

    That is just too funny!

    You just hit some bad luck, real bad luck.

    When you get beat like that you tend to doubt your game, you did nothing wrong.

    i concur with all of the others. you'd have to have a GREAT GREAT GREAT read on this guy. i think its something like 44:1 for someone to have AA when you have KK. so just think that for every 44 times you push all-in with KK, the 45th time, the other guy will have AA.
