Something similar actually happened to me the other day. I was dealt kings, raised preflop, got reraised, reraised back and got reraised again all-in. Now, a good poker player would have probably put his opponent on Aces here, which I did. Yet, the similarities between me and a good poker player ended right there. Instead of making the tough fold, I shoved my chips in angrily -- to paraphrase the greatest dialogue in Seinfeld history -- "like an old man trying to return soup at a deli!"
George: The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli! (Jerry gives Kramer a "what the h-" glance) George: I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish! Jerry: Mammal. George: Whatever. Kramer: Well, what did you do next? George: Then from out of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a quark and I found myself on top of him face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from all of the waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand and pulled out the obstruction! (George pulls out of the inside pocket a golf ball) (Jerry and George just stare at Kramer) Kramer: What is that a Titleist? A hole in one eh. |

How many times have people here dropped KK before the flop?
I've only seen one person do it and that was at a local tourney. He raised, there was a re-raise, another re-raise, and an all-in before it got back to him. AK AA QQ

I've folded it once. Here was the action, as I recall
Donkey in EP: Raise to 8 (i believbe I was playing 1/2 NL) ME: KK Reraise $24 Player to my left: All in $198 SB: CALL I knew that the donkey could have anything, the player who pushed in IMO had AT LEAST JJ, but more likely QQ KK (unlikely) or AA For the SB to call all this action he has to have at least KK (unlikely) otherwise AA I folded (oh yea the donkey called too but that wasnt a concern) Donkey: AJo  Player to my Left: KK SB: AA now thats some interesting deal pokerstars....
