Last week I wrote a comment saying that you should always play KK. Well last night I folded KK to protect my position in a qualifier. I was about 10 above the bubble but only about $1K better than the bubble position. I was on the button and everybody folded up to the guy before me. He raised 750 and after thinking about it I folded. The guy after me called and a K hit on the flop. I made the cut off and got entry into the EPT Monte Carlo Weekly Final with a first prize package of $18,800 including entry into the European Open in Monte Carlo at the end of April. 2nd to 250, out of a field of around 700, will share another $5K. The aim here was to get through and not worry to much about position. In a tourney with bigger cash prizes for getting up the leaderboard I would have not only called but probably gone all in with KK in this postion.
