The "John Doe"s here aren't here... It was folded to me in the BB.
Ok, so, I have KK in the big blind, and someone open ships. What’s the big deal? Well, there was a lot going through my mind when I was deciding whether or not to call. I’m still not sure about it. I thought this would be a fun hand to share to re-examine what I was thinking and feeling, and get some insight into how I could’ve handled it better. Another thing to note is that I really don’t know much about tourneys, so adding anything tourney related to the decision would be awesome.
Read – I haven’t seen my opponent play a hand yet. Literally, he’s 0/0 at this point over about 30 hands. I’m assuming that this is a good indicator that he doesn’t want to go broke before cashing.
First thought – he’s open shipping 20bbs. Not THAT much, but to me this is super weird. Why is such a nitty player shoving so much? What’s going on here?
What else is going on for me? Well, I would like to cash… although the money isn’t life changing to me or anything. I can’t say it didn’t affect my thought process, but I think I was pretty good at minimizing that.
I’ve checked, and all of the other tables have finished. Everyone is waiting for me, and no one has gone out this hand. If I fold, I’m guaranteed to get the 8k+. If I call and win, I’m looking to have a decent shot at a deep run.
So, what is my opponent’s range for shoving here? Part of me thinks it could be just AA. Part of me thinks it might NEVER be AA, and only be something like JJ/QQ/AK. Ugh. How do I decide which is more likely? Can I REALLY fold here? I mean, it’s POCKET KINGS!! Crap. What the #$(@ do I do. Time is ticking! I have no idea how to figure this one out… and yet I have to. And, it’s potentially a really big $$ decision.
QUESTIONS! What would you be thinking about? Is this just a snap call with KK? Does the bubble + extreme perceived nittiness make it a fold here? What else is going on that I’m missing?
Results will be posted later!
