Could you win a poker tournament with a decent structure (you start 200bb deep, slow levels) if you were dealt KK every hand, and everyone KNEW that you had KK every hand?
Thoughts on the most +ev way to play etc.
Off the top of my head, I like the idea of open folding in early postion and mis position, and 30x ing every hand when in other positions (unless there's action before you). As tournament goes on, if we're still alive we can open up and start playing from mid position too.
If people get used to you folding in mid position, or when there is action before you, there will be plenty hands getting played, and there will often be action before you and money to be made randomly moving in to pick this up every so often.
You'd maybe have to fold a few of your 30x's when people flat you or pop you, but I reckon you could start calling and using mad poker skillz and soul reads when people see these folds and through boredom/ego/oppurtunism they start increasing their bluffing frequency vs you (where bluffing = playing any hand that isn't AA)
Counter strategy against the 30x if you are bluffing would be best to make sure you have at least one ace (other card preferrably being suited and not 6,7,8 or 9) in your hand
I prefer shoving to flatting. Flat and if KK man suspects your strategy of holding at least one ace when you play a hand against him and are bluffing, it's hard/impossible to get action when ace flops and it'll be hard/impossible to bluff him off the pot when no ace flops.
Could possibly win a tournament like this. It's obv not a lock though.
