Early KK Play
I hope this doesn't come across as a bad beats post but I've been having some issues with KK in early levels at the $22 and I'd like to get some feedback on my play. I think I probably played hand one correctly and misplayed hand two but I'd appreciate any input.

Re: Early KK Play
You got unlucky in both, really.
Hand 1: in the $22s, 90% of the time you'll be up against a worse pocket pair (or someone really overplaying a top pair or something). Hand 2: It's basically a coin flip after that flop. Oh well. 90% of the time you're ahead here, too. |

Re: Early KK Play
1st hand fine.
2nd hand, there was $55 in the pot before you acted, plus your call of $15 and raise of $55 more (for the $70) putting $120 in the pot and only $55 for people to call, giving them greater than 2:1 odds. I would have raised to $115-$150 making the pot total $170-$205, giving less than 2:1 pot odds and increasing my FE. Beyond that, you got sucked out on, plain and simple. |

Re: Early KK Play
These are indeed bad beat posts. How exactly do you think you can fold in either of these situations?

I was posting the get feedback on my preflop play and whether or not my raises were sufficient.

Re: Early KK Play
Push pre-flop and you won't get called by 94 and 56.
Problem solved. |

Re: Early KK Play
OP seems to feel like there's a problem with 94 and 56 calling his big bets.
So push. |
