The guy raising all in has only been at the table for about 10 hands so I don't really have a read on him. Would you even consider laying this down and giving the guy credit for aces?

nope easy call, if he has AA oh well and reload, by the way I hate your raise to $8

 

[SeanyJ]

What would you have raised it to?

What would you have raised it to?

$12-$15 I dont want to give the other guy odds to call, I want to play KK heads up if possible. I really dont want to play KK in a 3 way pot, obviously guy likes his hand if he is raising into you.

I think it's safe to say that %99 of the time you should be stacking with KK PF at a ring table. The only times I'm ever considering folding (fwiw, I never have preflop) are when we're sitting on much deeper stacks (~200BB+) and/or against a nit.

I call here all day long.

Final Pot: $114.20

The guy that moved all in had pocket Aces, and the other guy had pocket jacks.
So I majorly sucked out on the one guy and kind of felt like an idiot for doing it, I just wanted to see if you guys might have even considered laying it down. I don't feel so bad now.

As Chuck said the only time I would consider folding KK pf is if were deep stacked with villain, even then I would need a serious read of him to do that. Getting it all in here is pretty standard, NH.

Since it was a cash game I would have called. If it was a tourney I would have though more deeply about it.

Since it was a cash game I would have called. If it was a tourney I would have though more deeply about it, and still called

your 4bet is a bit small like prior posters said

you can make it around 11 or so minimum, but i would prefer making it about 15 since it's multiway - also that size sets up a pot sized push on the flop

try and think about stack sizes on later sts.... i.e. if you leave yourself w $32 w a $26 flop stack sizes get weird...

 

[evny]

oops - forgot to add... don't fold that KK... u'd do fine if you just never folded KK pf
