I open raise UTG to 5xBB with KK. MP raises to 10x BB. BTN calls. I raise to 50xBB. MP calls leaving himself less than 50xBB. BTN folds. Flop 10-8-7. I shove. MP calls and shows A-10o!

Needless to say 10 on the river to lose a 220xBB pot.

Donkaments to the Shaquille O'neal look alike in Tampa, FL.

I hate posts like this. By the way, there isn't 200NL in FL, only 100NL with 50BB.

220xBB = two hundred twenty times the big blind. Do the math.

Its still 200NL, you are just forced to short buy by FL law. There is also 100NL in many cardrooms in FL ($.5/$1).

OK, I made it up. Drunk people at four in the morney never get lucky for hundreds of dollars in poker. Completely unfeasable situation.

KK is often overplayed in this manner. I understand your first preflop raise for deception. However, you should just call when reraised to find out whether or not an ace hits the flop. Playing KK is like carrying figs for a baby over a mountain. Be careful with them.

I think you are way off. If I can get this guy to commit half his stack as a 2.5 to 1 dog then the rest of his stack as a 4 to 1 dog, why wouldn't I? Of course, I don't know the exact odds until his hand is flipped over. This guy's range is very close to ATC, so I want him to get as much in preflop as possible.
