I feel like it’s been happening a lot recently (though sometimes it’s ended well.)

The thing is, I honestly believe the guy with KK can fold it pre-flop. Button was a loose passive fish, so that 3-bet is no joke. I put him on AK,JJ+. When SB 4-bets, I put him on AK,QQ+. That means I’m shoving KK+ and folding everything else, including AK and QQ. Even being generous with Button’s range, KK is a fold:

And that’s just for the main pot; his equity in the sidepot against me is far worse. Hope that doesn’t come across as sour grapes, I just thought it was interesting.
