Hi all,

0.25/0.50 NL home game. Hero is TAG, V1 is TAG, V2 is TAG-nitty, V3 whale. Hero has $80, V1 $35, V3 $45, V2 covers. Playing 6-handed.

V1 raises UTG $3.75 (on the larger size), hero flats KK MP1. Whale calls, V2 (BB) 3! $10.25. V1 jams $35. Hero?

This kinda felt like the main event bubble hand to be honest.

Thanks,
DT

Never just call with KK the main event hand is something i've never seen in person although i have seen lots of AA v KK v QQ or JJ

There's probably some slight +EV in calling off here. Your equity against AKo, AQs+, JJ+ is something like 40% 3 ways. Though I'm not sure how much AQ/JJ you'd see in this spot. Also, the whale has yet to act right?

In a casino, at normal stakes, against unknowns I'd probably just let it go. In a cheaper home game like this though, the dynamics are totally different. Against the ranges I see in these type of games, you have to go broke with KK here.

Well I felt given player types (tight/nitty) and positions (UTG and BB), this was a rare KK fold, even in a home game. (Certainly in a casino for 150+ BB.)

Results:

whale called with K2dd....

BB called with AA.

UTG had QQ.

Flop: K-3-5d.

Turn: 4d.

River: 6d.

K2dd scoops.

The ME has been running for decades, and 15 years post poker boom. You only saw something like THE ME hand recently for a reason, it doesn't happen that often, and no one played it as bad as some 2+2 pros say.
