Definetly shoving pre there to isolate' date=' if he calls then you are just unlucky.[/quote'] agree with Jason, but to be honest i dont think he was gonna fold no matter what, unlucky

Re: Was I right to call with KK or should I have shoved ? I would of shoved pre to iso, i mean the guy with 88 can look at your stack and think " do i need to flip with my chip lead against him?" also depends on dynamics too, was he a gambler or reasonably decent/tight? , but i dont think your call pre is wrong either, you was just unlucky. Just a note for next time, if you intend trapping in a similiar situation, i would check that flop and jam/call any raise/shove. Hopefully the poker gods "owe" you one deep next time :). Mark

Re: Was I right to call with KK or should I have shoved ? Shove preflop to isolate the player .. you don't A X type hands calling and spiking an A on the flop ... flop was unlucky as the big stack is unlikely to fold an overpair and draw. But preflop I do not like the call better to shove and if he calls well good luck.

Re: Was I right to call with KK or should I have shoved ? I'd shove this, calling may make yourself look weak or even extra strong... but calling gives you a disadvantage of allowing more people to enter the pot due to them having a tiny bit of fold equity or even see flop if they are a donkey. Just get it in

Shove is the way. At least make the 88 think about folding. At that stage he knows he's trapped, and he may just bail. His flat call with 88 is crap play, and you really want to beat him for his other 91k
