How to play KK in cash games?

[samircyber9]

So on my pokertracker my biggest losing hand is KK, im over 2000 big blinds down with it and its the single hand thats stopping me from being a profitable player.
So how i play them is just like AA or QQ, natural pre flop raise if first to act, re raise if the same has opened the betting. Now the problem i have is that either everyone folds and i win very little, the other player has AA and i dont get lucky, or the player gets a flush on the river. Im obviously losing massive pots here, and it needs sorting out, im tempted to just fold them and move onto the next hand to avoid the bs. I also find when i have AA and they have KK they king almost always comes on the river...
Any advice please i will be so grateful, im up with my other pocket pairs, just KK that im totally haunted by

There are only two types of bets - value and bluff. In general, why do people worry about hitting KK in AA? Because they are playing against a hand and not against a range. Remember, we have 2 blockers on AK. As a result, it turns out that if the opponent calls with a better hand than ours, but a worse hand folds, then in any spot it is called like this: turning a made hand into a bluff. A small sample when KK got under AA does not mean that you need to sound the alarm

Play it like any premium but a lot depends on stack sizes and position and action before it gets to you.


Are you making mistakes with your sizings? if a raise comes before you are you 3betting on the small side allowing possible opponents into the pot relatively cheaply. You could also be 3 betting too large getting folds that way

Are you making mistakes post flop ?

Definitely don't just fold the 2nd best starting hand though.

AK has been a similar hand to me over the years but I still play it aggressively

maybe you are just over valuing your KK, but most of the time it is very profitable to play KK, don't create fear in yourself,

Work on your fundamentals and mental game.

There's so much wrong in your entire post, I don't know where to begin.

In short:
1. Separate preflop all-in spots from postflop spots.
2. Separate headsup preflop all-in spots from multi-way preflop all-in spots.
3. Only start worrying about running KK into AA in headsup preflop spots for deep effective stacks, eg 200bb deep. Otherwise, you need a soulread to fold KK preflop, which isn't necessary in micros.
4. If you can't fold an overpair postflop, then KK isn't your problem. Poker is.
5. Don't be results orientated over a small sample. Play 250 000 hands and come back to us.
