2/5 NLHE Live - facing big shove pre-flop 2/5 NLHE Live - facing big shove pre-flop

Effective stacks of approx. $950, so we're pretty deep. I'm in late position, and a middle position player (who's been playing pretty loose) raises to $25.

I have KK, and reraise to $100. Everyone else folds, and the initial raiser shoves all in.

I've got a tight image to begin with, and haven't played a hand in 2 hours. So, I figure he has to have something - but is it AA?

I hate to get stacked when we're this deep, but why the big reraise if he has AA? If he doesn't have them, then why is he shoving when he knows I might?

What's the psychology to be looking at here? I guess that's the issue.

I'm just wondering what I should be thinking in regards to this situation. Should I call or fold?

Thanks.

Lee

what was your plan is he made it $300 or $350? have you seen this player calling 3bets oop?

Yeah reads on villain please? Would he do this with AA? To me it looks like AK all in semibluff. Could be wrong though

Considering your reads of him raising pretty loose, and him having to be at the very top of his range, i'd call this 100% of the time. That said, has he made a move like this before? I have found that big re-raises like that usually come from people trying to take the pot down right there. If he flips over AA you just have to eat it.

I'm happy getting it in here. Sure, he might have AA, but chances are he doesn't. I think he takes this line with JJ+/AK playing loose in a live 2/5 game.

Call. He doesn't have AA over 50% of the time here.
