UB $10 MTT, Pls critique my preflop KK play
After this hand played out, I received some criticism. I was told that given the circumstances at the time(regardless of outcome) I should have put the all-in on AA as this is a typical AA move. Do you see anything wrong with this hand as I played it? Assume I have no reads on the all-in player except that he has been playing solid. Thanks!

So he re-raised you preflop.
If that by itself is enough to put someone on AA, then this game is easier than I thought. Your pf raise is too big. You are discouraging action with a monster hand. 900-1200 is sufficient, and I lean towards the 900 end of the range. You want the Ax guys to call. |

Editing- misread the hand initially...
As it stands, no reason to fold those unless you've played with him long enough to know that AA is the ONLY hand he'll limp Re-raise with. If he thinks you're a bluffer type, or just trying to pick up the pot, might he do this with KK, QQ, JJ, AK, maybe AQs? |

When it got to me there were 4 callers (including small blind) in the hand for a pot of 1500. Now, the general rule I've heard is 3xBB + 1BB for each limper. This would be $450+ 3.5*300 == 1450 (3.5 cause i count small blind as half a limper). I overshot that by 350 because I'd have been happy to just take the pot given how big it was with all the limpers. But I wanted at most one caller. Obviously you don't agree with that. How many callers do you want for you KK? |

ughh im getting careless reading these unedited HH's. Raise was ok I guess, still an easy call once he pushes though.

looks perfectly fine to me, if by that bet you can assume someone have aces im going to just start reraising everytime i limp and someone raises...
