WSOP event #6 -- question on KK play

[Greeksquared]

Everyone so far is saying how bad the minraise preflop was. Im not saying its a great play, although here it probably was not the best option. I don't mind a min raise if you are min raising quite a bit. I also don't mind the min raise if you have over 100BB. In this hand it seems like the last two points I just made were not true for you. A min raise keeps the pot small so that you can let go of your big pair easily. Because you minraised, he could have anything. I would have bet no more than half the pot here because of that. Since you did not charge him at all to see the flop, you really have no idea where you stand. There is nothing wrong with taking a small stab at this pot.

Also, there is not a problem with "just" making the money and not winning.
