These days, nl2 6-max on Pokerstars is very tight. Do you think all in KK preflop is +EV ?

come on.. it's always +ev in vacuum. You have to have really good reasons to not stack off it.

It depends on the chance that 1 will call you.
Maybe all-in is too much.

No it's not always +EV. You need to know your opponents better and also know how they perceive you. For example if you're perceived as tight you will get called or bet into with AA or otherwise enjoy collecting the blinds. It's maybe +EV to call all-ins from one and maybe even two loose players.

Should u just auto jam kk all in pre every time.. No probably not.
If u did jam it 100k times consectuively would u be profitable? I believe yes. So if your question is yes or no. Yes.
It is +EV.
.....But not necessarily max EV

.... I dont play on stars. Or really anywhere $2 nl as $2nl on near any online room not exactly a +EV place to be. Truth.

it only takes one tilter to want to gamble with a(x) and you lost your stack.

you should give up poker if you don't want to get your stack in as a 2:1 favourite in reality

For 100 bb or there abouts the answer would be yes.

I don’t know i’d Push all in with so few players probably bet 3 to 4 times the bb and hope someone pushes you all in.

Likely +EV on any given hand because it's such a strong hand. But I really doubt it's going to be the most +EV play you can make.

Very few folks should be calling your all-in, and so most of the time you'll be just picking up the blinds. Second, to some extent, you've capped your range if someone is paying enough attention. E.g., if villain has , he or she is going to be able to play it more confidently if you haven't gone all-in, since if your starting hand was AA or KK you would've already pushed your stacks in.

wouldn't go all in take little baby bites at them its just as good.

No. AIPF w/ KK preflop is spewy. You should just fold pre and only play AA.

Going all-in preflop with KK is +EV. You should only fold them preflop if you saw your opponent in previous hands go all-in with AA only. Since you are only against AA with KK 1 out of 20 times, it is a very profitable move to put all your chips in the middle. It also depends on how deep you are, how the action has been before you, but on nl2 there is no situation that you should throw away kings. If you hear some of the pros they will also say that they almost never folded kings preflop. It is just a cooler. You will lose far more value by folding kings than gaining when you are up against aces.

Why do you think that ''all in'' is a best decision with kk?
Anyway, raise 3 bb will be better.

I would say yes

I would, unless your vic88888, because even 72 will be my kk any day of the week.

I d say yes

+EV. Expet Villain has 3Bet 1% or less.

Yes of course. Just what is the point to go at once all in?

Yeah I believe 99.9 percent it is the best hand so it will overall be the right move 99.9% of the time then it's off to the races to dodge whatever they got but you can't fold in some cases you can when you are really sure tho they have aces

Semi-grunch, yes it's +EV as has been shown ITT. But just because something is +EV doesn't make it the right play. It will almost always be even greater +EV to raise smaller and 4 bet if given the chance.

If you only wanting the blinds or AA to call then yes push it lol

As a general question with no other information, sure.

Very rare you can't fold this. If you are deep, maybe call is the better option. "Very rare", I mean maybe one time at milion hands. It doesn't matter.


At these days the field at micro is 80% aggro fishes. They are not tight. You are doing something wrong. You don't use the info correctly. I don't want to offend you. But look carefully.

I do believe it is important to know if the village doesn't have AA
