Ok, when I'm wrong I'll admit.. people do go ape on other hands too, noticed it yesterday and today. But it depends on your read. The typical "rock" with a big stack.. the kind of guy that sits at a limit he is basically to good for, so as to grind it for money, he will only do this with AA/KK.

Just now, I had pocket Qs. After I raise, this other guy reraises me 35BB. Normally I'd fold the ladies here, but something didn't add up here. I had seen this guy slowplay total monsters to the river and then minraise to take "some profit". When a person like that goes ape like this, it's USUALLY not with a *real* monster, but a hand he has doubts on. It's weird logic, but I've seen it enough. A real monster where he would have 100% faith in, he would slowplay it most likely.

So I called. Problem was, other guy behind me called too. That was bad. Flop is all blanks, and our reraiser-guy pushes. Against an opponent who I have pegged as a rock, I'll fold here. AA/KK is too likely. But I dunno.. I felt like I could take a chance here. In part I also wanted to see if my instinct were justified. So I call. Third guy called too, but after a long hesitation. Hm. Turn is another blank, I push, he folds. First guy flipped AK.. haha


That being said, I do stand by the assertion that there are definately situations where you should fold KK. Reads are golden here.
