Blimey, the guy's got bragging rights, you can't deny him that. Those stats are impressive! But, taking the title of the OP into account, that first hand history does exactly what it says on the tin.
Regardless of Ripptyde's blatantly questionable play, LuckyLarry limped with KK and should hang his head in shame.

Titans I just suggest you choose your words carefully before you imply that I am a donkey. Trust me there is a method to the madness. I lose plenty of pots but I think a 73% ROI is a decent enough win rate over the last couple of years to have earned the right to post some questionable plays. Its all for the sake of entertainment alue anyway. I apologize for not playing like a bot...I like to get creative sometimes and yes I love snapping off big hands and firing triple barrels with air. It makes me happy Here is a special token of my appreciation. GG and good night

if I lead out on the flop and he repops me hard...I'm gone...assuming he had fired out a big pre flop raise...I would give him respect and lay it down giving him credit for an overpair.
The way he played this should be a lesson is exactly not how to slowplay..limping KK under the gun is retarded...especially in a micro cash game....late stage tourney with huge blinds...then maybe I can see limping to trap...but even then it would have to be a full table or I am raising.

no actually I have just been playing on Stars long enough to know that K/K sucks. His own fault for slow playing pre flop. I still call pre flop if he leads out for say a 4-6X pre flop raise but if I bet into that flop and he reraises me I am prepared to fold that hand on the flop. Serves him right for limping UTG and then flat calling my pre flop raise. Bottom line is you don't get cute with a big pocket pair and give cheap cards. You raise and either go to a showdown....or you raise and bet the flop hard. His approach to playing KK utg is terrible and I do not feel one bit of remorse for 'getting lucky' and snapping him off.

yea he should have re raised u like 2 or 3$ pre flop and u got ery lucky even though he played em bad pre flop it was a good move on flop to push all in and u made a call with top pair and just got lucky. it probably wasnt the best way to play kings but then again u did get lucky
