KK on small blind. Cutoff raises 4x BB (14c). I reraise to double his raise at 24c. BB folds, and he reraises to $1.04. I push all in with $4.34 and he insta calls. He had QQ, and it held up to net me $3.96. Now this worked out for me, but was it a proper play? I had him on my HUD as a fairly tight player, so I was sweating it out. Plus an ace came on the board, so if he had an ace I was a loser. What do you guys think?
You played it well - with KK you always want to get all the money in pre-flop if you can. It's unlikely he has AA, and you want to get the money in against QQ, AK or even worse like you did here.
When you made it 24c, you can bet bigger there. If you are going to re-raise a raise (called 3betting) you want to make it maybe 3-4x his raise, so between 42c and 56c here.
If he has an ace, then 3 aces are left in the deck. The chances of him winning by hitting an ace are about 29%, here's why:
If he has one ace in his hand, there are 3 aces left in the deck, and 50 unseen cards (you've seen 2 out of 52, your own cards). So on the first card off, the chance of it _not_ being an ace is 47/50, then for the next card it's 46/49 and so on.
47/50 * 46/49 * 45/48 * 44/47 * 43/46 = 0.714
That's the chance of 5 cards coming off the deck and none of them being an ace.
71% is an excellent chance for you to win the hand - if you have even a 51% chance to win the hand, you are correct to get all the money in pre-flop.
