I decided to make the jump from the 20's up to the 30's today. This is the first hand that I was dealt.

Button (t800)
SB (t800)
BB (t800)
UTG (t800)
UTG+1 (t800)
UTG+2 (t800)
MP1 (t800)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 raises to t30, MP1 calls t30, 2 folds, Hero raises to t120, 3 folds, UTG+2 calls t90, MP1 calls t90.

I would push, thinking that he would slowplay a Q if he had one.

He has a flush draw and an over most of the time, or he has jacks or tens and is thinking that only a queen has him beat, push here... and raise a little more preflop

My stones falling off
Like the leaves off the fall trees
Am I that weak-tight?

Everyone plays a little more weak tight after just moving up.

Thing is, that bet doesn't seem to want a call. Unless the pusher has reason to believe that you will think he's bluffing, he wants you to read his bet for strength. Disappoint him.

I think I would usually autocall this as well, but it was just a weird situation being my first hand at a new level that I have no experience with at all.

After looking at this, it seems like a pretty clear call.
