My favorite...KK..woot woot

[Talking Poker]

I'll tell you exactly what he was thinking:

"Whoa. That was an afully big raise. I guess you have Aces or Kings. Ok, I'll take a look at a flop. If I hit my 5, I'm gonna get your entire stack."

Where I think hte was stupid was forgetting about the original raiser would may have had a hand also and who might have reraised preflop. Also, you didn't have enough money sitting behind you to justify me making that call.

But that's what he was thinking.

I can understand wanting to win with KK, but you're only going to do what you mentioned "win very little or lose a ton".

A giant re-raise after an original raise online instantly means AA KK to me. I might think they have a lower top-10 hand, but it's something better than TT. All depends on what you've been playing the last 30 minutes.

Hell, if I have a pair or some weird ass suited hand and I have enough at the table to not worry about folding after the flop, I'll call just for the hell of it.

If I hit big, I take your entire stack. If I don't hit, you're going to bet anyway, so I can fold without further loss.

A good raise on the flop would tell you what he has. He's already put you on AA or KK or something, so as soon as he trips...he's just waiting to take all your money. If he doesn't hit, he folds right away and the hand is over.
