Think I played this one wrong.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players
SB: $25.45
BB:$54.70
Villian(UTG): $33.05
UTG+1: $30.55
CO: $24.65
Hero(UTG):$67.80

Preflop: Hero is dealt K diamond K spades (6 Players)

UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, Hero raises to $0.85, blinds fold, UTG calls, CO folds

Flop: ($1.80) J hearts 9 hearts 7 diamonds (2 Players)

UTG bets $1.80, Hero raises to $5.50, UTG raises all-in to $33.55

Hero: ??

Definitely raise more pre-flop. 4x BB + each limp is the standard mantra so raise to $1.5.

A read helps, but I've seen players make this moves with draws or a hand like JT or J8. I'd call.

OK, thanks for the reply. Incidentally, I called and the Villian turned up with the club T and 8 of diamonds (natch) and I lost 1/2 my stack. I seem to have problems playing KK in big stack poker. Does anyone know a good hand converter tool for use with Full Tilt HHs? I tried using the one from FTR, but it didn't seem to work. Thanks for any feedback.

Lego poker has a hand converter for Full Tilt.

I raise it more PF and prob lay it down on the flop. There are many speculative hands that could have called your smallish raise and hit this flop hard. I see him turning over a set/T8 very ofter here
