Default 22$ 180 Person Laydown - JJ

Was this too weak? Did I commit myself?

9 Handed 15/30 blinds. No really big stacks
JJ on the button.
I have 1400 in chips
4 limpers (one with 150).
I raise to 210. Short Stack and another guy call.

flop comes K55 and Caller checks to me. I bet 400 and he c/r me all in for 800 more. I folded and he had 44...

Really weak or standard?

Look at the other side of the hand. Villian see you raise pre-flop with a bunch of limpers. What range does he put you on? What hand is betting this flop? If you hit it with AK,AA or KK you are so far ahead and want to double up your shortish stack and will almost never bet here. You are not likely to have KQ or KJ. Since you don't have a King you can't call a raise.

Your bet doesn't make sense.

Villain's push is a very good play.

This is a common situation when the board is A or K with a small pair.

next time dont include the results (his hand) cause that'll skew the replies you get.

just one overcard to your pair, and it's a king, there arent many hands he he would have here that have a king in them. i doubt his limping AK. Maybe he has KQ or KJs, but i think a middle pair is a definite possibility.

plus you're getting better than 2:1 on the call... i think you can make it.
