Post it in the tournment forum. You'll get better replies, don't post results untill afterwards either.

Cheppa,

I'd have raised here with this hand. If the one of the blinds reraises, well, then it's a matter of knowing the opponent and whether he/she is likely to bluff-reraise from the blinds. If not, then you have to give him/her credit for a hand ... but that could mean anything from a low pair to ... well ... KK. This is a reading problem, and all you can do is try to put the best read on that you can.

'Alls I knows is' I was in the bb with KK... I posted this in the tourney forum... on the bubble, I believe this was a satellite directly into The Stone Cold Nuts... I pushed all in from the bb with KK and a guy who'd made a tiny raise from middle position with ATs ends up calling me (for another 4k approximately) and flopping a bunch of aces.

Maybe if my kings were suited I could've done better here. It's always good to have the flush outs.

... Yeah, my "pet" "lucky" hand is probably AA suited. :ma /images/graemlins/mad.gif /images/graemlins/mad.gif /images/graemlins/mad.gifd:

should we assume it was folded to you? you should also include the size of the blinds.

if it's folded to you on the button, raise between 2 and 3 times the big blind virtually every time. you will show a great profit doing so. if you are reraised, whether or not you call depends on who raised you and your pot odds.
