swings and kings don't even rhyme - nice lay down. I have been wondering if it is better to just fold my KK to a push. Two of my 5 loses with KK were to AA.

One was a runner straight when I flopped a King. One was to a flopped set of 8's.

I lost $200 with KK and I won $294 for 58 hands - most cases I won the $0.75 blinds.

If I had laid down my KK for an all-in push it would look like this...

Loses against a push all-in.

KK vs QQ - lose $4 not $50 (bad beat)
KK vs 88 - lose $5 not $47 (nice flop - 888 pushed the flop - bad call by me)
KK vs AA - lose $8 not $43
KK vs AQ - lose $11 not $27
KK vs AA - lose $12 not $25

Wins

KK vs ATc - lose $24 but won $54 (flush draw that missed)
KK vs TT - lose $6 but won $39.60

Against a raise

KK vs QQ - lose $10.25 but won $17.40 - no way to fold to a mini-raise all in.

Every other hand was a winner - mostly the blinds or a small pot on the flop.

So clearly if I had folded every time they pushed against me preflop I would be ahead more.

BTW - I just saw KK vs AA and the AA put in the 4th riase

It went KK - raise, AA -re raise, KK re-raise, AA re-raise - KK called and guess what? the AA won.

Watching I figured 99% the player had AA and he did.

So instead of pushing with KK do a mini-raise and see if he re-raises ya! Then fold.

Uber should have just called the $1.50 because the sb was short stacked. The odds to hit a set at 7.5-1 - the Ace flopped and he could have gotten away from his hand.
