Him making tiny repops with kings makes me inclined to want to snap this... but at the same time him flatting with AK and weak play postflop maybe means he's a total nut peddler and/or station.It's a protected pot so maybe you can find a hero fold since his range should be AA/KK/QQ

Vomit fold I guess. Do you find you end up playing this deep a lot? I always go south once I hit 200bb deep to avoid spots like this where I have no idea wtf to do.

If I'm doing well or playing for a while, yes. Playing deep is generally way easier. I trust myself with a deep stack, and, whether it should or not, it intimidates opponents.I was talking with a friend that plays quite a bit of Rush. He actually analyzed his database and found that when he has 150bb+, opponents fold significantly more to his cbets than when he's at 100bb. That's mostly in line with what I felt was going on.Generally speaking, you just have to pot control a bit more and emphasize position when you start getting deeper. Other deep-stacked opponents aren't typically going to mess with you...especially OOP.One of the funniest/funkiest hands that I played with extremely deep stacks...I raised AA UTG+1 at 100nl. My extremely LAG opponent re-raised from the CO. We were 600bb effective. That was a pretty LOL spot. I ended up pulling a Phil Laak and 4-betting his $10 3-bet to like $70.

That's something I've noticed too but wasn't sure if it was acutally happening or just running hot, stack size does seem to have a real affect on cbet success. I wonder if it's just because people think "big stack = good player" or it's deep vs deep and people don't want to risk losing a huge pot.

i find it hard to fold here. he has to have some amount of none AA in his range. plus i think the shove looks more like protection for a AK,AQ type, QQ type hand more then something with crushing value. KK is a pitcher for the atlanta braves, was this him. bc if it is a famous person def more a spazz factor here

Leverage, I think.People know that by calling a bet on the flop, that there's a big chance they'll be facing an even bigger one on the turn, and very likely a third on the river.

I was just trying to come up with a clever way to say KK. :club:(I am a Braves fan.)

I definitely should've put this in the OP, but I wasn't using a HUD at the time, so I technically didn't know it beyond subconsciously.Over 920 hands, his 4bet % is 0.

KK would seem to shrink quite a bit with that stat.

After a decent bit of deliberation, I finally found the fold button. Fortunately, the shorty had 88 and the BB had AA.This was actually the first time I'd ever folded KK pre-flop in a cash game (over millions of hands). Felt good to be vindicated. :club:
