Do you ever fold pocket kings preflop

[TontoKowalski]

I don't think so. Ever. Heads up that is.

There could be tournament action, like if you're huge stacked on the bublle of making the money or something, or if its some kind of weird tourney, but i thin kanyone who says they'd muck kings heads up putting the opponent on aces is full of shit

Jack does it every time he's re-raised

I've seen Phil "Fleshy Lips" Hellmuth do it numerous times. And as we all know, he's the greatest poker player to ever live.

the best poker hand ever. well, not really, but the banter is pretty good. Jamie Gold is a giant pussy. He guilts Farha into letting him off lightly. Like Jamie woulda done that for Sammy.

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

I think I've done it one time my entire life, and I only did it because the guy at the table who raised was the biggest rock you've ever seen. He ended up having AA too, so I felt good about laying it down. But generally speaking, that's a pretty damn tough hand to get away from.

Folded them once on the cusp of the money in a tourney where I was very short stacked. Never have folded them live. I'm not that good.

You fold em and more often than you think.

In most cases you are risking your entire stack to a coin flip.

AK can beat you, AA can beat you and believe me if online you are holding KK, someone is holding AK, A-rag, and a good chance of AA.

The key to winning tournies is playing smart... Coin flips don't get you in the money.

Dunclock:

What do you think?

 

[TontoKowalski]

In most cases? there's a single hand that beats you, and the other is chasing 3 outs.

KK isn't a coin flip to any hand. You have to have 2 overcards to make it a coin flip

and even against AA its a 20% winner

Coinflips are the only way to the money

Coinflips are the only way to the money

I'm referring to online... It's a different world...

Maybe I have been beaten badly with KKs one too many times.

:iagree:

 

[TontoKowalski]

I always push all in on pocket kings. I might slow play with a medium raise, but I'm all in inevitably unless an Ace hits the flop.

My reasoning? I think you will end up folding needlessly MORE times than you will call against Aces, and miss sucking out.

was playing in the wsop main event 2 yrs. ago and it was almost the end of day 1 when the 2 biggest stacks at my table starting reraising each other preflop. to make a long story short the guy with second biggest stack put about 1/3 of his stack in before folding kk. the aa with the biggest stack at the table had aa. i thought it was a great laydown but i didn't think he should have put 1/3 of his chips into pot preflop. he lived to play another day, more than i can say

the tout
