Message: [QUOTE="Bombjack, post: 419156, member: 11914"] I think you've got to raise with this hand, but maybe only 2 to 3 times the BB. If they don't have a hand they'll fold and you won't have committed so much. When the BB goes all-in with his KK, that's when you have to make the decision based on what kind of a player he is. I would tend to call anyway as it sounds like you're short on chips, although you wouldn't be completely desperate if you laid them down at this point. Something I notice is that in the later stages of tournaments when the blinds are bigger and people are playing tight, they tend not to put in such big raises pre-flop in relation to the blinds - usually around 2.5x and rarely above 3. Either that or all-in. [/QUOTE]
