Misplayed KK?
Pretty aggressive table. Min or 3x raise usually gets reraised. BB has taken a few pots without a showdown by firing out a nice bet on the flop which has helped build her stack.
What do you do here? As a qualifier I had nearly the same thing come up last night with AA. 3x the BB UTG, multiple callers. My real question is, Do you fold or raise/call the BB bet? Also with so many larger stacks should I have raised a bit more preflop? I wanted action but not that much...

Re: Misplayed KK?
Yeah, since you're in EP you might want to make it 800-1000 to keep it less multiway. But I'm getting all my chips in here on the flop.

Re: Misplayed KK?
What did your opponent flop? A straight, a set, a straight flush draw? Since you think you made a mistake, I guess you must have been behind on the flop.
I think you played it perfectly. You had to push on the flop. I think 3xBB is plenty UTG. You want action. Good players (what does that have to do with the situation) are going to fold anything but very big hands to a 5xBB UTG raise. If you think people are more likely to come over top of a limp or miniraise (and not be suspicious of either), do that. |

Results
Okay I guess this was pegged as a bad beat post...
It really wasn't but here are the results anyway. Villain had 68c and made a straight on the flop. I figure I should have raised 5X the BB preflop which probably would have pushed her out. Her bet seemed to me like an overpair or flush draw and I paid for my misread. Wondering still if any of the more experienced players see fault in my play or analysis. As I said in the OP, nearly the same scenario came up with AA last night and I am smarting from these two hands as they ended my life in both of the tourneys I was playing. |

Re: Results
You go out of your way to tell us that "mini-raises and 3 times bb raises are getting reraised every time," and then you post that you played the hand perfectly preflop under these circumstances (hoping for a reraise, obviously), and then you ask if you did something wrong.
I'm sure you are clear on the fact that you don't want 68 to fold, so why say that maybe a bigger raise would have knocked her out? Next time you want NO CALLERS with KK from utg, just go ahead and push instead. Blecch. Bad beat story. |
