martin, you are the only person i know that would admit that. i guess you are the only "honest" poker player.

OP, if you dont have a super read....dont even think about it. i have been 100% sure sometimes, made the call anyway, been wrong, and won the hand.

you need to be more than 100% sure.

I'd just rather not take the gamble vs. known nits. Sure they could have QQ, but they could just as easily (prob more easily) have AA. I just don't like taking 50/50's (in reality it's prob worse) for 100bb's.

I've folded it once or twice. The one time I'm 100% sure I did it was pre-UIGEA, at 50NL, on Prima. Still cracks me up to think about it.

most nits where i play don't get all in with AK preflop. also, i would make AK a specific holding before i make QQ one.

now we are nit-picking over a few percentage points. i was just pointing out that its not 80/20 like most people automatically think.

my range is 60/40. yours, with AK specifically instead of QQ...is a coin flip. if both AK and QQ are specific its 67/35ish.

no one should be laying off KK pre flop. at least, not at lower stakes for under 200 bb's.....period.

and, i dont get it in w/ AK very often, either. but, i see those who do. granted, its not the nittier ones.

For me its still a 3 or 4 bet push pf, but I have not seen anything but aces on the calls for some time. On the other hand, I have seen KK to AA happen at slightly less frequency than quads.

Last night, two KK push calls facing Aces both times, but at least the one I lost was a half stack (fnord adjusment) and on the other I spiked the K for a full stack :P

i used to do this with KK, as well. but, now i do the 3bet, and call a 4bet...looking for a non-A flop or a K. when i find that, i go to the hilt. but, i call any shove...i just dont shove KK unless i know the villain will stack off lightly. i kind of like to call smallish 3bets with any pp, though, knowing it may be KK+ and they cant fold it.

but, thats a topic for another day.

I have no problem folding KK early in a tournament if I am facing an all-in or HUGE re-raise pre-flop. No big deal. Otherwise, I am going to call a raise or re-raise to see where I'm at. NEVER get busted with KK pre-flop early in a tournament. That's a major NO NO.

Something I am going to be looking at doing in the next few days (whenever my next day off of work is) and I challenge everyone else to do it.

Go through your DB of KK hands, search for every time you got yourself all in Pre Flop, against people with at least 75% + of a full stack, and see how often you are NOT against AA.

I think you will find that AA is the single biggest hand you are up against and that the whole "Never fold KK Pre Flop for 100 BB" is something that should be held to Live games, opponent specific and pre UIGEA (or however it's abbreviated).

I could be wrong, but that's why I'm going to be looking at my database.

sorry bud but that is definitely not a major no-no by any serious tourney player's standards.

so why do 25/50nl pros say getting it all in with KK preflop versus AA is 'standard' ?

I've seen this said before but I don't understand because if your opponent doesn't have AA once but has it 5 other times you just made a -ev decision even though you were right this time. I've also said this on 2p2 but I've got 165k hands at the $50 and every time I've faced huge preflop action with KK (w/>75bbs) it's been AA with the exception of 2 times out of 27.

This one is just from 2 nights ago. zomg fold.

I think the times you stack off with KK against AA will equal the times everyone else stacks off with KK against *your* AA. Thus they wash, and you can't really lose money doing it.

Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.
