KK pre flop to raise or not to raise

[Marmot66]

kk is a good hand and should not be played timidly (Daniel Negreanu)

Of course be aware for aggressive players

 

[John Bor]

it all depends on how many players at the table and how they play

 

[Aleksandr Sarpov]

3-bet preflop, 1/2 bank flop. And next check/fold/call Depending on the game of the enemy. Many times my AA moved 36 collecting 2 pairs

 

[johnny tigre]

i would raise at least 3bb, then call if someone reraised. Then if the flop dont show an ace, id raise half the pot and if someone reraised again then that would make me think long before making a call.

My KK were often bits, so I try to play carefully ... raise or a re-raise. All in if the stack is less than 10 - 15 BB

 

[edcwy]

KK warrants a re-raise to isolate, pick off the blinds.

 

[GIB]

Undoubtedly ... but I think that depends on the position and the presence of the number and aggressiveness of the players ... I would prefer not to bring to all-in until I see the flop

The question you asked is wrong! There is no standard solution, it all depends on the opponents with whom you play! You in fact have defined style of their game? Some will answer you all in. Others will fold! What image you created at the table also plays an important part!

 

[evaldas]

I would rase at first and if someone would go all in i would call it, i wouldn't rase all in strait away

 

[atlantafalcons0]

You shouldn't re-raise or call all-in if
1. you get all-in or mini-3-4-5-bet from very tight player;
2. you play in very deep stacks (>300BB);
3. you play with room's bot (if you know it for sure)

It would be an ultra rare situation to fold KK preflop. The only way I would fold would be on the bubble against a player I have detailed notes on or in a pot with more than 4 players jamming before me.

1) Raise in any position. Unless you r surrounded by LAGs therefore you can limp in UTG/ UTG+1

2) Dont flat call a 3-bet most of the time. Make a 4-bet instead.

 

[sekcapilniqt]

I think a small raise after making all and yo go all in

 

[Mark Renzi]

IM def betting kk preflop. now on how much it depends on what the others are betting and callin preflop

 

[Rational Madman]

KK raise 4x BB minimum MINIMUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SLOWPLAYING THIS IS SO POINTLESS! You must play optimal in what will profit you MOST hands not what will profit you in THAT HAND ALONE.

IF YOU ALLOW THE LAGers to bet instead of you THEN YOUR KK LOSES POWER THE MORE HANDS THAT ARE INVOLVED as you are increasing chances of being coolered and out-drawn due to higher variance with more hands. If you've played TAG, they will probably respect your raise (if they don't, bully at the flop and if you are reraised take a deep breath and consider that you may be out-drawn depending on the nature of the flop).

 

[MulletMan]

Insta fold. Everyone knows KK always loses.

 

[CallmeFloppy]

I very often raise with KK. There are a few exceptions (aren't there always?) but I like to get heads up with Kings. There are times I may limp if I have a player behind me that loves raising so I can reraise.

 

[Pomber]

Fold

 

[JCMystery]

I would bet at least 5x the big blind. If someone raised 3x I would re-raise.
