Been playing at a 1/2 250 max buy in table for about half an hour. I have 200 in front of me, and find two kings in my hand under the gun.
The table is pretty loose, and I want some callers, so I bet $10 (here is where I think I made my mistake). Got 3 callers after me.
Then the button bets $70 bucks. This guy has been very aggressive with less before, so I read this as a possible postion play, AK, or large pocket pair.
I push all in, and the button turns over aces.
Is it possible to get away from my Kings? One way I can see is to have way overbet in the beginning, like $40 bucks, and then folded against an all-in, assuming they had the aces. (It would have to be that big to send a message, $20 raises had been smooth called by people at this table with low suited connectors, low pocket pairs, etc.) But I would have got no callers had I done that...
Wondering at what point you throw the kings down in a pre-flop situation like this.
Any thoughts? Let me have the worst of it...
