How not to play KK



Posted Fri Sep 09, 2005 3:29 pm GMT by Skribbles
Seen two different guys play KK the other night in a tourny which I thought I should share. This is the absolute best way to play KK if you want to go broke.

The first play is awful.

The second play is a little better... He threw a bet out there to see if anyone had a 10.... Problem is there were quite a few people in that pot.
But if I checked and the short staked dumped in his last 350, it's an insta call for me (If everyone else folds).

TR...As soon as I saw the topic "how not to play pocket Kings", I swear I thought he was going to post the hand history from AAAAJ's tourney last night! LOL
