PLAYER # 2 goes ALLIN in M/P and player # 3 CALL in BUTTON .. and I in S/B CALL .. do you CALL on the first hand? ... I made CALL and I lost in my first hand, as you can see the FLOP did not help me and I lost

Sure I will call with KK.I think only once, and that was recently - I throw away KK in a tournament.
Obviously there was something to force me giving up in that particular situation :confused:


But in first hand of mtt - no way to fold them :p


You were unlucky this time, but keep calm - there will be also moments when loosing with AA in hand :cool:

Calling 3-way all-in preflop with KK basically not knowing anything about your opponents is not easy. And perhaps in a standard tourney on the bubble or on significant payout jump one could throw away such a strong hand. But in bounty tourney calling is correct as you are a favourite against every hand except AA.

good answer, in those types of tournaments you are also looking for the opportunity to win rewards for elimination, and KK is a good hand

okay what you did, always doubt that the enemy have pair of aces and A hidden in his hand, but in a HeadsUp with KK in hand, you have to play it or yes, because it is also a hand very good to eliminate most of your opponents, luck was not on your side, but you can always have your revenge

You were 5 to 1 favorite preflop . You have to call that every time no matter what the situation is . You will prevail next time . Good luck.

Hard to throw away KK preflop. If you're good enough to fold that on the first hand, You'll be taking my money every tournament.

Calling the all-in pre-flop with KK on the very first hand of the tourney is a good move, you should never regret to call with KK. Sometimes you'll be kicked out from the tourney but that's the smallest chance. I've done it in the Big 1.10$ first hand all-in with KK played versus 4ppl (button/SM/BB) i was UTG went all in pre-flop they all call me with AQ/AJ/AJ/AK so i was not scared from the Ace to beat me :). Anyway i want to say that i will "never" fold KK pre-flop.

Snap call, you should almost never be folding KK preflop, especially in a bounty tournament.

Through the tweet I got a $ 55 ticket on the pokerstars. I paid 55 bounty builder.At the beginning of the tournament I got KK and played allin. One player with A6 paid. The flop came out A and I dropped out from the tournament.I know I did not play well because there was no need for an allin. I had a lot of time I needed to see the flop and fold. Never before did I play a tournament with such a payment. I was afraid and that's why I played it so.
