Pretty much the same strategy while playing KK as AA. Agressive play and raise preflop. At the flop just watch carefully for somebody with 2 aces, cause they are gonna beat you!!

I agree that you play aggressive preflop. Also this helps defend against AA because they will generally re-raise. You then know where you are at in the hand.

and what about somebody with suited connecors... he may have two pairs and also try to get flush

do you fold even with AA when the flop is f.ex. 4 9h 10h and somebody re-raised you?

If you play KK aggresively before the flop then it is unlikely that someone hung around with suited connectors unless AK, was a monster chip stack, or just a crazy 1500 player freeroll. If it is a buy in tourney were people are playing solid poker the thing to fear in this situation is a set.:eek:

I have had A's cracked 8 out of the last 10 times Ive had them so, K's are good in my book. Although I would rather look down at a pair of ladies, they are always good to me.

I always slow play the winning hand. KK I would check and call or bet tiny til the end them bet the pot in the end. It's better to let them think that you are bluffing. I have noticed that people think that timing is everything when playing on line, and it's not some people just simply had to let the dog out.

I hope you're not talking about slowplaying preflop... I mean if you've got 10 people in the hand and you're just a limper... Someone's bound to catch a better hand than you. Now if someone raises before you preflop, sure, sets up a great call for you. Post-flop, if you're check-calling the whole way through on a limper-full pot... draws and weak pairs will catch all over the place. At least a small raise is called for, save for certain situations.

Sooooooooooooooooo..... You look down and there they are; AA as your starting hand. According to the odds you will win with AA 80% to 90% of the time depending on how many players are in the hand. Well, I'm here to say pocket Aces owe me some wins! Last week I got beat 5 times holding pocket AA to; a Flush, 2 pair, trips, a straight and a full house.

I could and should have avoided some of these beats. First and foremost you have to have an effective pre-flop strategy and, use care so that you do not “slow play” yourself into a loss.

The reason I'm writing this is to remind us all that while AA is a great hand you still have to play it correctly. It certainly CAN and WILL be beaten from time to time, particularly these days when so many players stay in with Flush and straight draws. AA is hard to lay down, but a great lay down that keeps you from the rail is far better than winning a few hundred chips if it helps you get to a final table!

LOL to All! Welcome:

You definitely have to reraise with the kk. You have to see what the chip count the other player has before being to aggresive.

Pushing with Kings is the easiest option, it can't be faulted. If you walk into AA that's just bad luck. Most of the time the only callers will be weaker pairs, AK or chancers with any two, if any of them get lucky and hit trips or straights and flushes again its bad luck at least you were ahead when you made the move and never stuck a chip in from behind.

The downside is you might only pick up the blinds. If you try the more complicated slow plays then you have to be more aware of how you may stand on the flop and later streets.

It's easy to fold if there is an Ace on the flop and you may infact get away cheaper.
You may actually lose value as some hands may fold after missing the flop.

There is only the one easy answer. Otherwise you have to be a good player.

Well based on the game i think KK is as good as AA and i am sure mostly everyone has seen "the donk " players these kind of loose player ruin a good game and ive seen reraises with 3 5 , 4 10 and some how WIN but i think if in position and with a aggressive raise KK should be profitable

I've had my KKs busted a few times by donkeys who cant fold 55, 77 or 99 & get a set on the river despite my pot + size raises. :mad:
