    i spoke to stuart117 a little after this hand  and he thought it was a marginal fold in my spot with KK but a tough spot either way

    he gave me some good advice after which i have taken on board

    i find that i keep getting myself getting invovled in 50/50 races which obviously isnt going to end up being profitable in dyms and its part of my game im now working on

    just wanted to get some other opinions on this hand would you be calling?  would your original  raise be bigger?

    Snap call. Having assigned some approximate ranges without knowing who villains are + taking into account the level we are playing at, AA and KK are profitable calls. QQ is a very close fold.

    Looks fine to me, very unlucky to lose both the main and side pot!

    Aaaah the old KK hand... what memories they bring me -:)

    I think the 300 raise (2x) is fine could go 3x maybe, i like to vary it between the 2.
    dont like player A's allin much & even worse player B's call

    I think your allin is ok unlikely either has AA but likely 1 player has 1 Ace
    v 2 opponents our KK is still just favourite I think,(could be wrong, sure someone will correct me if i am)
    but always a chance of getting outdrawn as we have here, especially by the Ace.
    unlucky for you Player B hits quads though & Ace hits on river.
    as Stuart is a descent player, I'm happy with his thoughts it's a marginal fold also.
    but then again so is Matt who says call here.
    I think I would fold v 2 opponents though, but it's close & my descision would all come down to my notes on players involved, & how brave I'm feeling at the time.
    mind you, what I know about playing KK you could write about on the back of a stamp...
    & still have space left over -:)
