With KK I'd want to see a flop IMO. Cause if theres an Ace or a shitty board, I'd fold.

If playing cash game, the ONLY hand I'd want to be AIPF is AA. Nothing else. Cash games aren't tournaments, its YOUR money and you gotta protect it. Tournament, I'd be AIPF with KK. Thats some crazy odds to get KK and be against AA that many times in such a short period! I've seen/heard alot of KK vs AA on NBB

Some players I like getting KK in preflop, but some players I stop at 3betting and go to the flop. Not because I'm scared of the "A" or anything, but because I want to get value from a larger part of their range.
Maybe they only call shoves with QQ+,AK. You get okay value from that range. Now lets say you take it to the flop in a 3bet pot and villain calls with TT+,AK,AQs and villain usually calls down with any overpairs. You're now getting a lot more value from villains range, and allowing him to make a lot more mistakes, which is +EV for you.

I still get it in with KK a lot, but the key thing I look for is getting it in with loose aggro donks or shortstacks who get it in light.

Differnt site, different night... KK vs AA again! Didn't shove preflop, instead 3-bet flop and bet in a manner to get it allin by river to small unsuited unconnected board.


This is getting ridiculous. 5/6 times that I have KK I run into AA over 2K hands

Currently -35BB/100 hands on Pstars! Yeah... its time to quit poker :/

dont worry about it... i had the same thing for 5-10K hands man.. it really is dipressing. you just gotta play through it and take the good with the bad...
Im still getting sick beats but im really owning a certain level right now and its rather pleasing
