    First hand of the 150k satellite blowout on paradise and im the bb with KK. Folded around to the button who raises to 70. I re raise to 240, he pops it back to 560. I thought there was a chance he had aces, but pushed anyway and he instacalled and showed me what i was afraid of...AA. So my question is, Do you make this call? or fold and not gamble this early on.

    Yeah, i just didnt have the discipline to fold it, even though i truly did put him on AA, but my stubborn side kicked and called anyway.

    The chances of aces running in to kings in that situation is so rare, laying it down is probably a -EV decision. He did represent it yes, but I think he may do the same thing with AK, QQ, or maybe even JJ.

    Tough luck though.
