Hi all

Maybe a stupid question. But I should always be prepared to shove it preflop with KK right? Risking the fact that my opponent may have AA.

Thanks a lot

Allin preflop with KK is corret. There is only one hand, that beats you here.
You never know, if opponent has AA. If you have very very strong read, that he only 4bets/shoves with AA preflop - you can fold, but I assume you dont have such read on him.

Thanks, glad to say my opponent in this case had AKs, I won the pot.

Simple rule: While playing micro-stakes never fold KK pre-flop.

Just put him all in after his 5bet to 1.5$:
UTG2 calls $0.05, MP1 raises to $0.2, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.65, 4 folds, MP1 raises to $1.5, Hero raises to $4.86 and is all in.

Yes I was actually meant to go all in but miscalculated the amount, I thought by raising to that amount I was automatically all in.

AK is a starting hand I dread getting.

Reason is I know I have to raise preflop with it, but I also know I'm probably wasting my money doing so.

Have folded AK preflop on several occasions, to some all-in bets.

No, don't always go all-in pf with AK. The statement refers to KK (which was his hand)
