50NL live game. .25 sb, .25 bb.
Raiser was extremely aggressive, raising with just about any ace, and qj and whatnot. He had about 20 bucks in front of him. I had 40. The flat call had nearly 250 bucks in front of him because he had caught really lucky, and was crushing people, and just trying to get lucky to run over the table
1 limp
2 limp
3 limp
4 fold
5 raise 5
6 fold
Hero Kc, Kd Raise all in 40
8, call 40
9 fold,
Everyone folds back to 5 who calls for his last 15 dolalrs.

Was this the right play? Pokerstove says that against the two hands I was in against I was a 61% favorite. While against any two random hands I was a 68% favorite. Several people jumped on me and accused me of making the wrong play with kings here, since more than half the table was drunk, and I may have gotten more loose calls than was justified.

Highlight below for results.



Hero has KK, Seat 8 has Ks, Ts, seat 5 has As, 8s, (my read was almost dead on... put him on ace poop.) Board was 5, 8, 3, all raimbow no spades, 9, and an Ace on the river.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

 Do you really want to see a flop 6-way with one pair of kings?

nh.
Push all day long, and triple up more often than not.

I play it the same and am delighted to get it AI preflop against those two crappy hands. Getting 2:1 on my money when I'm 60% to win with some fold equity is a bet I'd take all day, every day.
