Here is the rule: [B]If you can get it all in PF with AA or KK then do it.[/B]  There is almost no situation where that is mathmatically incorrect.  The exceptions are tournament specific and have to do with not playing any hands on or near the bubble, or when two huge stacks collide and things like that.  So screw the odds.  They are with you.  Thats all you need to know.  Do not make the mistake of letting variance change the way you play-don't start playing like a pussy.  KK is a good hand.  PF there are only 6 possible combinations of hands out of 1325 (6/1325) that are beating you.  If you are playing in a way where you are trying to reduce your variance, as in a tournament situation, just call that RR, make sure an Ace ball does not hit the flop, [B][I]then shove.[/I][/B]  A lot of those RR's are going to be hands like AQ, AJ, Axs, AK, etc.  I think it was TJ Cloutier who said that during those PF raise wars the 3rd raise (open raise, re-raise, [I][B]re-re-raise[/B][/I] from the opener) is Aces 99.9% of the time.  Its something to think about.  Another thing I like to ask myself while profiling my opponents (its like a mini game) is "How would this guy play Aces?"  Then if he gets Aces, I see how he plays them, and see if I am right.
