Title: Late in Tourno - Pass KK??
Post by: Jamier-Host on August 13, 2007, 01:50:26 PM
About 25 left with average chips about 25k.

Smooth call by SB usually means a monster here.  Passable preflop?  Any value in calling and passing when the ace hits?

(P.S This wasn't me as I can't play on iPoker :( )

Blue Square 5,000 Freezeout Double Stack 1500/3000, hand converted by the iPoker Converter (http://www.talking-poker.com/hands/converter.aspx) at Talking-Poker (http://www.talking-poker.com)

 4 folds, CO-1 moves all-in for 13390, 2 folds, SB calls 11890, Hero moves all-in for 40915, SB moves all-in for 14110.

What are the blinds?  Don't worry, worked them out 1,500/3,000.

Not passing KK here.  Looking to get it in pre-flop as well here I think.

surely the world and his dog would get in on KK in these circumstances?

Unless you KNOW that the SB would only ever go all-in with AA?

You call - and then you shrug your shoulders in a resigned fashion when he turns over his Aces.

How could anyone think of passing this? I'm getting it all in pre flop as well.

 first push has less than 5BBs , flat call has less than 10 , it looks more like AK / AQ imo when he flat calls. if im the SB i push here , i dont want to be 3 way in a big pot with less than 10 bbs and AA.

 if the SB flat calling confuses you its because hes played it unconventionally , not because it automatically means he has a monster , he could flat call with a small pair as well.

 pretty standard to lose chips in this pot.
