What good does your re-raise do? Does it not just declare your hand to your opponent (as either KK or AA)?
What are you trying to achieve with the re-raise?
Yes you are saying exactly that.
If he is good enough he then passes a lower pair. Actually I think I raise to 2k not just 1500, a 1000 re-raise from 500 looks like a pair but not a premium pair or maybe even looks like AK, it is calleable by a low pair looking to hit a set and is dangerous. 2k should scare him off, and at this early stage with 3k+ in middle I"m happy to take that size of pot down. If he then re-raises to 5k my chips are going in, so he is in no doubt what i have, and like I said earlier if it happens to be the 542nd hand and he does have AA then so be it, I go home complaining about the poker gods and how could they do it to me etc etc etc.
Actually I had two hands very similar to this, one I had KK utg+1 and the betting pattern was virtually identical, against an UTG limp raiser it felt like he had bullets but in fact when the cards turned over he had QQ, I took all his chips and sailed through the bubble to finish 5th in a £150 freezeout. The 2nd in a different tournie I had AA UTG and the betting was virtually identical again he had KK and I took all his chips. It"s a funny game.
