At the lower levels of the $11 at UB, I have to raise 4BB to get people to respect it. I have traditionally made $700 my standard raise at this level though I shall experiment by going $500 instead.

As for the mess I got myself into:

Am I really comitted to calling another $1000+ by betting the $700? Doesn't that just compound the mistake? I could see an insta-call for only a few hundred bucks more but this was a considerable amount - of a raise and of my stack.

NO, it compounds the mistake to NOT call another 1000 when there is already 2700 in the pot...even a very tight pushing range (which the shortest stack at the table might no have here) makes this a huge error not to call. I dont like your raise preflop at all BTW...

with this size stack and the blinds only 100/200, i see no reason to play KQo from UTG. I'd fold it from the get go.

I really wish people wouldn't say stuff like this.

Hand 1: 25.2273 % [ 00.25 00.00 ] { KQo }
Hand 2: 74.7727 % [ 00.74 00.00 ] { AA-JJ, AKs-AQs, AKo }

I don't think this range is too abnormally tight.

The chips he could lose are worth more than the chips he can win. I haven't done the calcs but that could make this fold correct.

I actually wasnt thinking THAT tight...and anyone who would would be wrong IMO...even that range makes him almost even money.

I would put him on a range of AJ+ 88+ kqS

Not that your reply wasnt merited because I did say "very tight" and overstated myself...
