Default (10+1) Raising with mediocre cards after a small all-in

***** Hand History for Game 3090277667 *****
50/100 Tourney Texas Hold'em Game Table (NL) (Tournament 17697829) - Thu Nov 24 22:20:04 EST 2005

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to SexyJosem [ Ks, 9c ]
dadams7273 raises (75) to 75
dadams7273 is all-In.
Duzno6715 folds.
SexyJosem raises (225) to 225


UTG has 75 chips left (blinds 25/50) and raises all-in (a raise of just 25).

I figured that there was a good chance that they'd have rubbish, and thought K9o had a good chance of leading against the all-in player. If I raised enough to dissuade other players, I'd be getting 2-1 on my money. I thought that other players would think that anyone who re-raised after an all-in must have a good hand (and thus fold).

Is this thinking right? Other players criticised me for making it less likely that this player was knocked out, but i figured that for myself, I'd get great odds on my money after blinds are included.

Its an interesting move, with your stack and the blinds relatively low id be tempted to just stay out of it. If you get one call to your raise immediately it turns everything upside down and you have almost 20% of your stack going to the flop vs a likely strong holding with K9 off

I like the play. I also wouldn't worry about the others criticising you for making it less likely that the player will get knocked out. That's simply untrue. Actually narrowing the field is exactly what you want to do. The more people who get involved in the hand can not only give them a better chance to win because of the multiway pot aspect but it also gives them more chances to gain more chips. This is very common at the low level. One player goes all-in, one player raises, and then you get two or three cold callers behind the raiser, so that gives the short stack all-in player a chance to potentially quadruple up. A good player what's to eliminate that kind of play preflop if he/she can help it. That's what isolation is all about.
