This is not a hand of mine, but it did really happen as was relayed to me
by a friend.
Ok situation is $1/$2 NLHE at a casino in AC. Folds to typical TVSM in MP
with about $300 who makes it $100 to go. It folds to you in the BB, you
have a $300 stack and look down at KK. What do you do?

I'd push. I don't see any way a "typical TVSM" bets 50xBB with AA, so
I like my chances here. I expect to get called by AJo and lose when
the board comes K93TQ.

Sounds like my home game, so I push. Folding KK pre in my home game is
grossly unprofitable, even though you sometimes run into AA. Against a
typical TVSM this is an easy push. I'm ahead 75% of the time as i'm up
against AA, QQ, JJ or TT here.
I folded QQ once pre in my home game to the re-reraise from the original
raiser. In my home game I needed a read in order to make this fold as it
is not automatic with our lineup.

Actually I gave it a little more thought and I would:
Stare right at him and ASK him if he has AA. If he doesn't say anything I
keep looking at him until some asshole calls the clock on me. Then I turn
my head slowly to look at THAT asshole and tell him to fuck off. I then
turn my head back slowly towards Mr AA and flip him off. I wait to see if
there is any action and if he still does not move I move to plan B. I
jump up on the table, pull my pants down, whip out my dick and tell him to
tell ME WTF he has. If he STILL doesn't say anything then I say MY balls
are bigger than YOURS and I go all in. After I zip up and sit back down
that is.

And when the laughing , over the size of your penis subsides , he reraises
you and shows you just enough of his penis to prove to you that he not

You forgot the step of turning your hand face up to get a reaction. Then
pushing all your chips in and he folds his TT face up calling you an idiot
for showing your hand.

Push, knowing he'll call with anything and since you said he is a TVSM I
know he'll call with anything and the chances of him having AA or low.

au contraire my little TVSM .. 30 here means a bigger pair (say JJ-QQ)
40 here might be KK ..but when they are lame enough to make this play it
is always a "small pair " and they want ZERO action
You are simply exhibiting how little B&M poker you play

WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN AND SEE KK .. JJ IS A "SMALL PAIR ". The only question
here that is even comprehensible is "Does he have ACES?" .. After that
everything is a moot point

Awesome.
Next you're going to say that when you have KK, JJ is worse than 88.

Axctually , as a snap response 88 might be better against kk than JJ ..
easier to make a straight around an eight than it would be to make a
straight around a J.

i just checked and I was right . If your opponent has KK , you are better
off with 88 than JJ

Re-raise him all-in. The only hand that beats you at this point is AA.
If he has that, will calling save you -- let you fold postflop? What
are you going to do if you call and no King flops, bet out? So if you
check and he bets, now what? If he has AA you're still toast, and if he
flopped a set or two pair you're toast. If he flopped air he'll get
away without paying you off. Make HIM make the decision to commit his
whole stack without seeing the flop.

Raise, call, or fold.
Fold - not worth talking about
Call - why? Out of position, what do you do if the flop is A42?
Raise - easy. Push it every time. No reason at all to think he has AA.
My last trip to Las Vegas, there was this crazy bald guy from Brooklyn
that made plays like this constantly in a 1/2 $200 buy-in game. One hand
it folded to him in the cutoff and he pushed his whole stack, something
like $175. I instacalled him in the BB with ATd. You have to adjust your
game against guys like this.

There's a guy in my home game sng that plays AA about this way, often
shoving pre-flop regardless of the blinds. He hates losing chips with
AA, and they're practically impossible to fold post flop in this game,
(people play TPTK like the immortal nuts), so he just shoves. Any
chips he loses are lost to bad luck, not bad play. And yes, he knows
this is an unprofitable way to play AA, but he doesn't care.
If your TVSM has been raising like this often, then it's not likely to
be aces, and I call. If this is the first time in a long while, then
I put him on aces and fold. If he's just sat down, I still fold,
mostly because I'm a bit of a chicken-shit at cash games, but I figure
I'll have a pretty good shot at his chips if he keeps playing this
way. Maybe he'll tilt the table and I can take advantage of that,
too.

You may be right, but I couldn't care less irregardless.
;)
"Misunderestimated" is also a favorite after, I think, 43 said it. As
is people saying "historic" when they mean "historical" or vice
versa. And we won't (shan't) re-hash the whole which/that, your/
you're, it's/its ridiculousness again. Nor the random apostrophe's
that people like to adorn any word's that have an s' at the end,
irregardless' of whether you're [sic] trying to make it possess'ive or
not.
Off to my grammar police meeting now. I think their going to make me
they're president today.

Holy crap. Someone who used the phrase correctly instead of saying the
"mortal nuts". Very nice.
BTW, "mortal nuts" has to rank on the idiocy meter right up there with
"flat call" (as opposed to some other kind of call???) and VVP's "Bob

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say mortal nuts. It's always
immortal nuts.

Or as Morphy would say of VVP:
"He got a wired pocket pair of matching 9s in the hole Mike!"

Yous all is ideyots!
Mortal nuts: when you flop (or turn) the current nut hand,
but cards may come which weaken your holding... you're
not unbeatable.
Immortal nuts: should be obvious. Doesn't matter if there
are cards to come, you can't be beat! (think top side of
a straight flush, or quad aces - or any nut hand on the river)

"I could care less" is not incorrect. "I couldn't care less" means that
you care not at all, and your level of caring could not be reduced. "I
could care less" is much more snide, and means you care very very little,
and could care tiny bit less, but not much ("well, I could care less, but
if I did I wouldn't care at all").
Irregardless...

Well, you gotta ask yourself is this someone with AA that is trying to
represent a TVSM with a middle pair or a TVSM with a middle pair. Well,
do you feel lucky punk?
Muck. If he truly is a moron, I'll get his money anyway.

There will always be another moron to take his place at $1/2. No hurry.
If it's someone I would never fold kings to preflop in a more standard 3rd
raise situation, I would move in here. If it's someone against whom I
would potentially fold kings to their 3rd raise, I would fold here.
You didn't provide enough information to tell me which he is, but it's
usually not that hard to guess which is the correct course of action for a
given opponent based on previous action. My bias would be towards moving
in. At $10/20 my bias would be towards folding.

good point and that was something I never considered when deciding what to
do.

In AC? Shove all day long.
And that's being sure that since you posted it, he either folded or
should've folded against AA.
