Blinds are 600-800-1200 and I am on the button with 33800 to start the hand.

UTG (villain) flats and two more calls behind. I look down at KKon the button and raise to 5300. All three blinds fold and villain (who has me covered) takes 20-30 seconds and makes it 25000. Folds around to me.

Villain and I have some history. He is late 60's to early 70's and is REAL tight. He looks away from me and I say "look at me." He looks at me and I say "you won't believe what my hand is." Without missing a beat he says "pocket kings."

I say "are you ever making this move with anything but aces?" He says "I've got really big balls." I go into the tank.

My thought is this; what could he have here other than aces? I've only got 20 bb left. What do we think??

Limp-reraise from old guys seems to ALWAYS be aces. but with that said, I have a hard time folding KK preflop ever, let alone <30BBs in a $130. I've also seen these same types of players show up with just absolutely crazy hands in this spot. I can't imagine folding here is +eV long run, but if you had a soul-read, sometimes that's all you have to go on.

PS - sorry you called and lost to AA

I actually tanked for about a minute and then folded face up. Table gave me looks like I was crazy. The guy tabled two black aces. First time I've ever folded Kings. #brag
