660 or 720

or just repop all in for the steal

i don't see how MY hand looks huge if i repop here. i actually think my hand looks relatively weak, but the reason i smooth called is the same reason i am quite scared now.

i think repopping an utg raiser looks verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry huge especially in utg +1 where everyone knows that you know the utg raiser is supposedly strong and you do not fear his strength- that sends a crystal clear message to the rest of the table and one of the only hand that may come over the top is AA any thing else (even ak) is gonna consider laying down IMO- i dont know buy in level or anything but mostly that is irrelevant because even the biggest in donks at your table can see what is developing here-

also, give a reraise, and with all the above information put together and you STILL get a 3rd raise in you might want to reevaluate your hand now that you have the pieces put together- "third raise is usually aces or kings" and you have KK sooooooo- another quote that comes to mind "if you are unsure use the KISS method, Keep It Simple Stupid"

I like your game Claw..... Im interested to see how you played this. Personally I put in the 3 bet. Calling here doesnt gain you any information. Although your hand is extremely disguised which is a good thing. Are you really worried that you're up against AA here and this is why you're so uncertain as to what to do? What if the flop come 2-6-9 rainbow.... What do you do facing bets now?

Edit: Doesnt your call widen Guguitas range to raise here? And slots call basically eliminate him from holding AA?

yeah i was really concerned about being up against AA, the speed of hte button's reraise and the fact that he made a relatively small reraise sent up huge warning bells for me; and then i didnt know what ot make of the UTG smooth call, i thought about it a long time really only considering moving in or folding.

EDIT: fife, i agree with both points, i honestly thought utg had a hand like two tens, but i wasn't positive where to put his range but it didnt include AA in my mind; my call does induce a squeeze but its so early for that i didnt feel like thats what Gug was doing, if he had either taken longer or raised more i may have been more inclined to believe he was protecting a middleish pair here. i can't muck kings preflop, but i had a really really strong hunch here.

I hear ya. Is there any way to put in the 3 bet and still be able to fold to a shove here? Probably not because that would have you putting in like 40% of your stack in preflop and folding KK to a shove which just isnt a winning play. Although with such a strong read, sometimes you have to make a situational play as oppossed to long term ev, pot odds, etc etc.

I totally agree with the fact him squeezing doesnt make much sense with such small blinds.
