I think you can guess how this one went down from the fact I'm posting it at all. Anyone think the BTN flat is an obvious enough sign of a trap to fold? If not KK then how strong can we fold here? Or would you just flat too? Of course if we are folding strong hands we could get exploited.

Poker Stars, $3.19 Buy-in (200/400 blinds, 25 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

BTN: 9,979 (24.9 bb)
SB: 32,017 (80 bb)
Hero (BB): 9,614 (24 bb)
UTG: 2,352 (5.9 bb)
MP: 4,053 (10.1 bb)
CO: 9,485 (23.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K

UTG raises to 2,327 and is all-in, 2 folds, BTN calls 2,327, SB folds, Hero raises to 9,589 and is all-in, BTN calls 7,262

Nash calculator assumes he can only shove or fold, but to a shove we can only call QQ+.

Of course that exaggerates ICM, so maybe JJ+ is a call to a shove but I think I can fold JJ because this flat looks pretty strong.

Anyone like flatting and shoving all non-ace flops?

Shove, if you flat and fold on an Ace board you are losing too much equity against his AT-AK type of hands. Doesn't really matter if he is trapping or not, you have KK and you never want to assume someone has AA preflop.
