I actually would have reraised on the flop... and most likely ilt100 would have raised again, if you raised back and he raised again... well phil gordon does say the third raise always means aces lol... i wouldnt have gotten away with it but there were too many in on the flop imo.

i think a reraise is in order preflop, the bet of 200 should be a strong one from early/mid position.. you get called by aces the ace queen folds, and you still lose your money..

Wizzy i like da way you think

Actually advice here is pretty useless without knowing the stakes of the game. If it's a freeroll it will play a lot differently from say a $100 buy-in. So trying to figure out what the range of hands of other players might be is impossible without that information.

Generally I would reraise preflop since you don't want to be up against more than one player with your kings if possible. You certainly don't want to have ace-rags sticking around. But nothing you can do in this particular hand with a cooler.

Hard to say without knowing what stage/ buyin...looks like the money is going to get into the middle any way you go....dont Limp though.. one thing to lose to cooler..another to get the ol suck out.

it was a $500 FR at PS. around 300 entrants. mid phases,
I agree should of rerasie preflop . but in this case i think no matter how i play ,the result still be the same.

Absolutely 100% correct. This is a cooler hand, there is no way to put Villain exactly on AA, and no way to fold the second best possible hand pf at any point in the hand without Villain showing you his AA.

Reraise preflop. He'll either call, if he's savvy, or push all-in. You will never put him on AA if you don't 3-bet preflop. When he takes it to 4-bets you have to take a serious look at the player's stats, stack, and playstyle. If he only 4-bets very rarely, you might need to lay your hand down.

Not that I think any player out there is going to make this laydown, especially with that stack.

It's a freeroll, it doesn't matter how many bets there are you can
t go anwhere with kings unless you somehow see a flop with money left with an ace on the flop. Other than that a cooler no matter how you slice it.
