    Definitely dont fold unless you have some super read you didnt tell us about. In which case dont fold.

    All the money is on the FT or final 3 for these types of tournies, so play to get there. Plus it is 6-max, so he could play QQ like the nuts here.

    Shit happens dude, i agree if you have some MEGA SUPER read then you fold, if you don't then you have to go with KK, not too often are you behind.

    I don't think I'd ever fold KK in a 5$ 6 max tourney with 20 ppl left. This is easily be JJ, QQ, AKs enough times to make this a +EV call. You were still elft with 20BBs after the loss, how'd yo udo?

    Yeah I have pretty much accepted the fact there was nothing I could do there. Ended up taking 16th....probably due to tilt. Thanks for the comments guys.
