I would like to ask an opinion about the following hand.

I was in the 7Starcoins VIP tournament, final table, UTG+2 with KK. and Had around 40BB. The chip leader has 80BB, and I was 3rd in chips. There were 3 shorties (10-15BB). I raise, got reraised by the chip leader went all in and he bust me with QQ. The first place was 400$ and I got 81. I know that this is a clear all in, without any doubts, but how a micro stakes player should react on this situation if I was at the final table of Sunday Storm or Big 11. Should I fold since the 3rd place was almost assured if it was one of this tournament?

it was correct call in my opinion.
The other guy had better luck, but that's all, and so l8t in the tournament you have to push, especially with KK

I'm not clear on how many were left at the table. If there were 8 or 9, you still had a long way to go to make it to 3rd or better final position. You may have been in 3rd place at the time, but that can and almost always does change to the negative side if you don't play your monsters on the rare occasion that you get them. The only way first place is within reach is by playing.

The other guy got lucky. It was a correct call, in my opinion!
Maybe, if you had more notes from your opponent, you could expect a AA from him, but this choice is too hard! You did the correct action.

good call-bad outcome-if he had q-q he had a ten percent chance of hitting a queen on the flop-sometimes you can do everything right and still lose

Really easy call my friend-if you will not calling allins on FT with KK-you will never be the 1st or some else! You could fold and fold any other hands and and waiting while other players will kick out each other, but those who have only 10-15 blinds in minutes after 1-2 allins can overtake you and if you will sit and folding all cards -blinds will eat you stack! I think so!

How many else were left on the table? How much did you raise and how much was the re raise?

That's a typical action on the final table. I would do the same. At that stage I rarely fold KK. Obviously the one with the Queens had more luck!

Anyway, congratulations!!!

You are result oriented. In this situations you can never fold KK.

that is just unlucky and in any situation I would say you are stuck all in with the KK.. and of course QQ going to call.. them hands are hard to get away from!

not really on topic...
But does anybody knows the chance of somebody having AA when you have KK in a 9-player-table?
And does anybody know a good site for those statistic?

That's right you did, do not worry. Other players are lucky. Poker is not an exact science, that all was according to the law. It directs the mathematics of probability. The next time better luck. If you got the last table, you mean playing well. Good luck for the future.

My opinion is that you played it the best way, and it is the right way, some hands are bad luck and you cant avoid it. this kind of hand is unlucky because I do not see me or anybody else fold pocket kings pre flop.

GL next time.

Cooler. Oh well...

If you could have seen his hand before you made your decision, would you have done anything different? No? Then it was the right decision, and he just happened to have Lady Luck on his side this time.
