So I had this hand this morning in the micromillions main event and would love to know what everyone else is doing??

Its very early on and all very deep, there is a couple of absolute maniacs on the table playing 80-90% of hands and coolering everyone so I'm playing super tight (8/8 over 90hands), the villian here is playing about 25/18 over about 30 hands.

 

So the big question here is do I shove (or call Shove) Pre or flat at some stage? (it seemed weak aces were winning sssooo many hands)

Or any other advice on this particular spot…

 

No Limit Hold'em Tournament T25/T50
Buy-in: $20+$2 USD Hold'em No Limit
PokerStars

Stacks:
UTG – UTG (T10,310)

CO – Hero (
T9,009)
BTN – BTN (
T7,342)
SB – SB (
T9,720)
BB – BB (

Preflop: (T75, 8 players) Hero is CO with K♣K♠
UTG raises to T125, UTG+1 calls T125, 2 folds, Hero raises to T444,

2 folds, BB raises to T950, 2 folds, Hero raises to T1,551,

BB raises to T2,550, Hero raises to T3,669,

BB raises to T9,855 (all-in), Hero???

I wouldn't fold KK preflop in this tournament if someone had a gun to my head 😀 I think you played if absolutely perfect just click the call and win. If he has AA in this massive field with a million landmines at least you got coolered early and don't have to get 3 outted later on 😉 Sizing is perfect for each bet as well. NH

I'll throw it out there, but what's his 3 bet or even 4 bet % so far? He's re-raising two original raisers out of position and 8 bet shoves you for his stack, these are either maniacal tendencies which should have already surfaced in his play, he has recently took a very bad beat, lost half his stack and is now on tilt, you just cussed his mamma in chat, or there's a decent chance he has pocket rockets.

 

And in a typical rush of blood while 6-tabling I'm still calling. embarassed

I'm with Danny on this one.  NO WAY am I folding it the way it was played.  Too many of my babies out there.

Thanks for the feedback nice to know my bet sizing was good Danny.

But on that…seeing it took until the 8th bet to get it all in is this more of an indicator that they have a monster? Just thinking that if he had an umade hand like AK or even JJ or less wouldnt he be willing to shove earlier (as a general rule) to try and get me out of the hand? By the 6th bet I was thinking the possiblity of him having AA… but what are the chances… obviously 100%
