Mtt Freeroll

[crazyIvan 0]

Don't hate me because I play freerolls.This hand occurred much earlier today, so I don't have the hand history available.Middle stages of a MTT freeroll, about 1/2 players out, my table is playing where everyone looking to see a cheap flop (limp in).I'm in middle position, sitting in about 15th place, with 2 players at my table with about the same in chips (roughly 60K with blinds at 100/200).UTG raises to 4000. UTG has about the same stack as me, is pretty aggressive, and has pushed a few times and showed with 72os and AA. In other words, he could have anything. Folds to me, and I have KK. My thought is I don't want to bust out here with a solid stack, so I'll call, see what the rest of the table does, and gauge my play post-flop. I had thoughts of pushing, but I really don't want a coin flip when I have such a good chip stack at this point. (imo, bad play, but that is what I did)Everyone folds, 2 to the flop. Flop is 872, rainbow. UTG leads out with a 8K bet (pot sized), I raise to 20K, he calls.Turn is A, he pushes,I ??????

i realize I screwed up preflop, but thanks for re-inforcing that.

KK is never in a coin flip scenario preflop. Only 80/20, 20/80, or 70/30 (I think that's all... oh, ofcourse 50/50 against KK)Definitely re-raise preflop. This is standard. If he has Ax and reraises all in, good. A on turn as played... muck.

Not raising pf with KK in a freeroll is suicide. Seriously why wouldnt you want to commit all your chips in a freeroll with KK pf? Firstly it's always good and secondly should be playing the freeroll to win (as first place is usually the only decent payout in a freeroll).

Kick yourself in the head for not raising then throw your hand away.

yep, screwed that part up, no question.

Raise PF.(Yes, I did read the other replies. I felt it needed to be reinforced.)
