It would be a rare occurance for you to hold KK and someone else to have QQ or AKs, rare enough to not be profitable. And if I held JJ and nailed you as pretty tight and you lead out allin for no reason, I'd fold. I wouldn't even call with JJ if you had just taken a huge hit and might be on tilt unless I felt like gambling. You would show a greater profit by actually playing these hands for a flop. | |

I dunno I have had lost of people call me with garbage when I have AA or KK and push it in pre-flop. Seems most profitable in the small blind when everyone else folds and you are next to act. I raise all in with AA or KK (occasionally 46 suited, my fav hand shhhhhhh ) and many a time the BB has called. I think it's the "bitch u aint gonna take my 50 cents, I am gonna play wit u, you mofo!" My table image is pretty tight too, I am not going all in preflop unless I have AA or KK (usually). I play 6 max if that is a factor. One person called my AA with Q8os . Um one moron called with 56 (for 40 dollars, I had him covered!), and they hit their 2 pair (thatz poker). Mostly they call with 2 face cards though which are dominated by AA or KK. | |

Well there goes the theory of getting no callers if you go all in pre-flop with KK. I got rather surprising callers. | |

All-in stratThe all-in strategy only works well when the players are fearful of leaving the tournament. So probably the only time this will work is when you are playing large buy-ins / altered the system for position / played more all-ins than AA kk QQ or whatever, like suited Ace. I would probably never show a hand if I didnt have to. After read Sklansky's book, HAP, I did modify the all-in system and it worked really well when playing $100 rebuy first hour MTT live. I played 10 such tournaments, and I placed in 5. I did find out, that it is best to switch over to tight aggressive at some point in the tournament, as in, when you start to get a lot of chip, start to get to less tables, etc. The tournament in question was 99 players cap at the local pool hall, but people come from other states to play in it, so its a pretty decent tournament. This was probably a bad tournament to try, since it was a rebuy. But I hardly went all-in in the first hour to get the game out of the muck. | |

If people had their doubts in 2004 I doubt it would work now. Isn't the general consensus that games have improved a lot? | |

you can do the short stack thing playing KK+ and occasionally AK/QQ/JJ/TT and turn a small profit over a fair sample. | |
