im having a lot of trouble with kk... i usually try to get all the chips in preflop with this hand but i think that is just a good way to play it and not the best way to play it.....How is this hand suppose to be played (ABC poker) Early middle and late position in a multi table sng (medium stack) ?

I think the correct answer is this: Preflop, raise/reraise.

You can stack off here unless you're getting raised/reraised by somebody who plays very few hands and you seriously think he has AA.

When I get KK, I ussually end up getting as much in pre as I can, and if no A comes, I'm ready to stack off.

No maybes about it, get it all in preflop, if he turns AA over you can complain about the bad beat and say the deck is cold... thats what i do? lol.

Preflop get as much money/chips in as possible, being aware at what point you are pot-committed. Postflop it depends on how my opponents are playing and the odds against the range of hands I think they are playing versus the board texture. KK postflop, without improvement is still only one pair.

Reise 4-5 BB in any position and bet 1 pot on flop without A and 2\3 pot if A on board...... and check/fold on turn after call....

I don't like the check/fold on turn, unless they'res an A out there.

Also, Beaver, if you play KK the same way every hand people who figure you for a big pocket pair will call your bet without an A and bluff you on the turn.

There's no 100% way to play any given hand at any given time. The answer is pretty much always "It depends."

If you will be call reise with 4-5 ББ with big pocket pair and then bet on flop 2\3 pot with A on board - then at you chesspieces does not remain by that moment when you will open a bluff.... Whether reiseз 4-5 BB already means top pair or АК-AQ and to risk all stack in hope for a bluff of the opponent very unreasonably.... Also it is unreasonable to climb with КК when to you call the rate in 2\3 sweat on flop and A on board, it is possible to lose easily to the maniac with А7-АT in colour or set....

I would personally mix it up each time. I probably never play the same hand the same way ever. That's just how I go by.. but maybe that's why I'm not that consistent.
