NLHE Home game, 8 handed, 80bb stacks. One EP limper, Rock of Rocks (if I had to guess he's 7/4/.5, these are FR #s, and he's the epitome of Weak Tight) raises to 8bb. I'm OTB and look down to see 2 red As, and reraised to 20bb (I know I know, too small). EP limper calls and is now AI (he was a shorty), Rocky calls.

Flop K72r.

Rock of Rocks Insta Shoves All In, this totally catches me off guard.

Now, I know I put myself in this spot by not raising the correct amount preflop (which should have been 30bb or so), and am promptly kicking myself. Against ANYONE else I snap-call, but in this spot I'm really torn.

Not that it matters, but because of the shorty I'm going to see his hand regardless.

Feedback?

if you can fold aces here you're a better man than I....


...and be right...

You have to call here. Villian put 25% of his stack in the pot preflop so he made the mathematical mistake even if he floppped a set. There is now 60BB's in the pot and you have to call 60BB more. Even for a weak tight rock this will often be AK.

IF he's dumb enough to open shove and let AA/AK off the hook...I call with AA. Normally KK would CRAI here...not open shove

I don't see a rock of rocks open shoving with KK.

I can see a rock open shoving with AK thinking, "Well, I can't fold now."

KK is thinking, "How do I get more..."

I call.

meh, this is KK a lot but I call anyway. He paid enough preflop that he made the mistake, not you.

It's not about odds, it's that he'd NEVER play KK that way
