KK Early Position

2-5 game, max buy-in 100, most stacks have 150-300, couple of very short stacks as well. Table is loose passive. My image has been tight thus far.

I have KK in Ep, one limper in front of me, I raise to 20. fold, MP makes it 40 and is all-in (cool). Next player looks at the all-in player, and then looks at me and two fistedly goes all-in for 205.

fold, fold to 1st limper who now goes all-in for 140 ish (he's a goofball and I'm not really concerned about him).

Action on HERO. I start to tank and try to figure out if I'm good here or not. I spend about two minutes (maybe) contemplating, trying to get a read. I talk to the guy, he says he likes his and.

Others start to get irritated at how long I'm taking. The 205 guy doesn't really care what I'm doing but I swear I can see a smirk on his face.

Times up....Hero does what?

Well before the flop you have to raise that or at least call. When the flop comes you play from there on. Small limits im willing to go broke with KK it has too much power to lay down.

Where is the problem? Sure he could have aces. He could be a retardo donk with TT-QQ thinking he is a genius. I have seen that natural "I have a huge hand!" smile in my home games from guys with an ace and a flush draw...

the 205 guy gave the smile, and was also the one with "im 3betting to isolate" gesture which is exactly why he isnt a problem. the 140 guy (28bb) is likely to have a much stronger hand than this guy however. Like i said before any of that though, its an easy fist pump call anyway because the 140 guy also has alot of JJ, QQ, AK in his range.

Make it at least $25 maybe $30 first time around. Second time around I'm VERY VERY happy to get my money in these stupid $100NL California games with their absurd rake + blinds.

The initial raise was to get this exact situation, correct? I have no problem putting it all in here and living with the results. I don't like all the players in the hand. However, I will live with whatever happens and know that I made the correct play.

Shove it!!!! You can't put him on AA, just too crazy. If he has AK a few outs to dodge, but probally AQ or QQ JJ or 1010, maybe not so much AQ, but a big but not AA pocket pair. Make the call and shove it!
