Hi,

when you are deep it is not too smart to shove pf with KK. It is difficult to fold KK but sometimes we have to.
But in this pot I went for raise/allin, my reasons were the position ( he had position in BTNvsCO this is one of the best spot to bluff3bet) and he had 3bet total 12 which is pretty high.
If he was somewhat tighter I would have just called his 5bet being minraise(otherwise just fold) and just fold the flop to any agression. I may make a set or get very good equity...
Do you tink it is reasonable play?

thanks!!

Hi pityumeszi

Preflop: I don't like your shove here at all.

Look at how much you put in after his 5-bet and most people won't call you light there.

Just because he has a high 3-bet does not mean that he also spews and calls light (those are different stats/notes).

In this case you should call his min 5-bet and keep his range wide (in essence keeping all bluffs in). As soon as you shove his decision is much easier.
