Did i make the wrong move here by calling? not much info to go on as it was not many hands into the game!

What would every one else of done, or what do you see as the right move?

[staffy]

I would have done the same probably.

[aimar21]

Call unless you know they are tight players, I would probably expect them to turn over 99 and QTs without any info.

I put this through pokerstove and assumed player 1 would shove top 14% of hands and player 2 call with top 17% of hands and you are about 60% to win (see below) - if you expand player 2's options to incude calling with any Ax + a few more suited connectors (down to 76s) then you are are still about 60% to win however, if we narrow player 2 to AA-1010 and AK/AQ suited and offsuit (which I think is more of a reasonable range - or at least should be ) you are about 55% to win

so depends if you feel you are a better player then the rest and can afford to fold and pick your spots later? if so then fold, if not then call and hope that one of them doesn't have Aces or outdraws you

I think to fold pocket Kings pre flop takes some knowledge of your opponents. Since both your opponents still have 1500 we can presume that up until this point neither have played a hand.

I'd be surprised if NicolaM was ahead of you since she only called the BB initially.

The biggest worry is whether your Kings will hold up against 2 opponents.

Having said all that I'd happily call and take my chances.
