Overplaying small overpair? live 5-3-2

Does that mean I'm stupid for not interpreting his play as a big hand pf?

The size of the raise was weird. I interpreted it as some kind of 'mix it up' raise or a monster. I expected him to rr if he had a monster being out of position.

What's the blind structure - is BB $5 - is his raise 4x bb? That's what I read it as and assumed $20 would be a standard open - So I was pointing out that when a solid player makes a standard raise utg + 1 I would generally not be reraising w TT.

Given the action throughout the hand, doesn't he have JJ or QQ here a lot? If you're trying to rep AA, then that's OK I guess, but that wasn't the impression I got.

Although the bb is $5 the game is usually loose and astandard raise is a bit higher--around 30 to 35 if you want most to fold.

You hit it spot on though--he had KK and I shouldn't have rr. He thought I had aces is why he played it slow, and he was trying to move me off "my aces" with the river bluff.

I wasn't trying to rep aces, but his comment and of course the showdown when I saw it made me think I overplayed.

I guess this line (with Jim's modification of closer to pot sized bets to outprice draws) would have been ok if if our seats were shifted 4 seats back?--He opens MP/late MP and I play this from CO/button?

Thanks for the feedback all.

If he's playing at Lucky Chances like I think, then an limp open is the sum of the blinds, which is $10, and therefore $20 would be a mini-raise open. It is a weird open for $20 with KK, but against a solid opponent, I would also smooth-call only with TT.
