hey guys, ive recently had alot more success in DoN games i play mostly $5 turbos the exchange rate makes it only a three pound profit which is quite low really, but im winning alot of em now so i cant really complain just gonna grind em out till i hit 50 pounds and then consider moving up to $10 maybe. but my concern is even tho ive found a good strategey which mixed in with my own play is working, sometimes if i shove with KK im getting called by 22 and i just dont get it, sometimes such poor pairs crack my kings even tho its a bad call for them, im just wondering does this sort of stuff still happen at higher levels say 20-40$ DoN or can i expect my aces to come up agaist atleast half worthy cards on the showdown?, thanks

to be honest I have played over $100 sngs and still seen the weak shove calls with low pairs and even odd connectors.... the bad beats will always happen when people don't play by what the book says.

some people will just gamble any 2 no matter what so you will need to learn how to deal with it.

If you lose to JJ does that make you feel better? It happened to me in a DoN before and it doesn't.

All you can do is get your chips in there ahead and hope lady luck doesn't screw you over this time.

If there are six guys left and you are in no danger of losing then perhaps fold KK or even AA. I folded AA once because the 5th and 6th place guys were both very close to blinding out, and I had no reason to risk my stack as I was pretty assured of cashing.

Other than a situation like that, I would shove KK and AA everytime.
