Late stages of a live tourney - 19 left

Av chips 8000

You have 11500 and are only outchipped (only by 200) by the guy to your right.

Blinds 100 200 about to goto 200 400

You have good reads on the rest of the table, but the guy to your right is a loose cannon - no disrespect to him , just mean he can play any two cards.

You are the button, one limper

The guy to your right raises to 900

You look down and find KK and re raise another 3000 - opinions here as well please

Limper folds and the guy to your right goes all in.

Could anyone really pass here??

Pass?!? I would be jumping up and down in my seat  :D

As I was. Just interested to see if anyone said "pass"

What do you think of the re raise?

Personally i may have made it just 3000 so that he's gettin 2-1 on the pot but then as an above average stack, i would imagine you were also happy to just take the pot right there.

Not sure i'd price him in, i think i'd either go allin or call.

I made that size bet hoping for the re raise all in - which he is VERY capable of doing with ANY two cards

Not me, not in a million years.

you wont get no one folding that hand me thinks! this where ya tell us you got outdrawn?

Nope

I'm not really reknowed for my laydowns though. ::)

Remeber your 50p before the posting of the beat mate.

I'm not folding.................Dewi's been known to though, he can sniff out AA at 100 feet!!!! ;)

No Bad Beat Story here. Just wanted people's thoughts.

(Anyway, running KK into AA aint a bad beat ;))

call every time for me.

I'm calling till the cows come home. I would need to be playing the Rock of Gibralta to ever contemplate a fold here - and even then I don't think I'm good enough to fold.

Did you spike the K?

lol - no

no would have pushed

all ym chips are in the middle

The raise was great as you left enough behind for him to think you were not committed and may only be using your position.

I will call all day and twice on Sunday

I forgot to say

I think he has Jacks 8)

So what did he have?

No

lol, tx.

I don't fold there but as I call I resign myself to seeing Ace-rag and the Ace hitting, probably on the river!

Losing to AA feels like a great result compared to expectations!

If your aim is to win the event, which I know yours is in these things, then you have to take these chances.  Most of the time you get a big double up, which makes the odd cooler now and then worthwhile.

Sheriff

Couldnt agree more.

I would not fold here against this player either.

I just wanted to see what reasoning James would come up with to fold (ie the opposite to what I did) lol

If you added a poll M3boy, I'm sure Flushie would vote 'yes' to a fold. ;goodvevil;

call

call


was this at Luton?

who was the lairy cut off?

Re-raise was a nice size too, made it seem like you were a bit wary...a QQ/JJ sort of re-raise....

None other than Monkey Harriss

oh boy, say no more

A3 is just as likely as AA

A3?!?

Ur being generous!!

2 3 is a good possibility! lol

Insta call, whilst muttering "send it"

I re-raise less pre flop. I have position and dont want to lose my kip....customer.
