    It's a $2 tourney. What do you expect? If you already had those reads then you should call. You had to have talked yourself out of this one.

    make a bigger raise preflop vs. low-limit donkeys - get more of their money in while you KNOW your hand is good. when the flop comes so truly rotten for KK either push or check it - make them call off with their draws or mid-pair, or practice pot control since the flop is so ugly. it's a gross spot but it's a $2 chuck.
