Low-Limit 45-player sng

I guess this is a very trivial hand, but I couldn't figure out what the correct play is in this situation, so please give me some insight.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A.
UTG calls t50, 3 folds, Button raises to t2655,

I had seen villain call all-ins with mediocre hands (and mostly win), but no real aggressive moves, and nothing fancy like this.

What kind of hand makes a play like that in a sng with lots of donks?
I don't mind a coinflip, but is this a coinflip or am I faced with KK/AA?

In this setting, I've seen the play with Q8....I call every time in this tourney.

with no overlay, I fold

I usually expect this kind of play from someone who has a mid-pocket pair, say 88 to JJ and they are afraid to play post-flop. If that is the case, you are a small underdog without the pot odds to call.

If you expand the range to include any pocket pair, you are a bigger underdog.

As shpaget says it could be almost any 2 cards, in which case you are a big favorite.

However, I tend to give my opponents more credit than I should, and I fold this hand…

you;re up against a PP.

only hand making this move that u wont lose to is another AK.

more than likely its a PP and you're either racing, or completely dominated by KK or AA

what he said, plus AK likes to be the pushing hand, not the calling hand.

we agree??

lol. j/k

Hey, youve got to get lucky once in a while.




sorry, couldnt resist . We'll settle this in the HU league, if we both make it that far!

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it.
