$2 No-limit hand

[KJ o]

I play a fair limit game on extreme micro limits, but I have basically no clue when I play the $2 No-limit tables at Paradise. Here's an example. How should I play this?

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.01 BB (8 handed) converter

BB ($4.32)
UTG ($1.78)
UTG+1 ($3.26)
MP1 ($8.14)
Hero ($4.20)
CO ($3.28)
Button ($4.52)
SB ($3.09)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.01.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises to $0.04</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $0.1</font>, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to $0.16</font>, SB (poster) folds, BB folds, UTG calls $0.12, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $0.6</font>, Button calls $0.44, UTG calls $0.44.

Flop: ($1.83) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets $1.2</font>, Button calls $1.20, UTG calls $1.18.

Turn: ($5.41) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">(All-In) bets $2.4</font>, Button calls $2.40.

River: ($10.21) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>

Final Pot: $10.21
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: $10.21, between UTG, Hero and Button.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by Button ($10.21).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG shows 8s Ts (one pair, eights).
Hero shows Kc Ks (one pair, kings).
Button shows Ad 4d (straight, five high).
Outcome: Button wins $10.21. </font>

Is it just incredibly bad luck that he was on both a flush and straight draw, thus giving him implied odds? Should I think ahead and bet less on previous streets so that I don't inadvertently give him odds to chase?

im not a NL player, but i would be making much bigger preflop raises to try and get my whole stack in preflop against AK/QQ/JJ or some junk hand that will call you...

Go all in on preflop when you were reraised is probably the best move.

But would that be the result? Wouldn't they just fold? My thinking is that I actually wanted money in the pot. Is that not correct? Or should I assume that since this extreme micro-limits, my opponents are maniacs?

Try posting this in the PL/NL forum. You're likely to get replies from more experienced NL players than in this forum.

Also, you might want to include what happened to UTG on the turn when you repost this.
