Default $6.50 Stars: KK ITM looking for most value

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero (t3330)
SB (t5675)
BB (t4495)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K.
Hero raises to t825</font>, 2 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t875

Table is tight as hell so ive been pushing a lot. I was hoping the good ol min raise would bait the fish but after doing it I realized that its pretty obvious to the other players that I was holding a big hand. I was wondering what the best line is here. Get it all-in pf and hope someone thinks im carrying a weak hand cause ive been pushing a lot orrr min raise and hope someone pushes over top of me or atleast calls, then push the flop? Any help?

I say push. Anything else looks suspicious with &lt; 10BB.

I would stick to what you have been recently doing, if every play has been a push then shove, if you have been making raises then do that. Whatever will look standard and not draw special attention is probably the best play.

I push too
I know players that just limp here with a bigger stack
So frustrating when we push a weaker A [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So, push again. It's like the guys I play with in cash that play some stupid 40/30 style or something, then limp AA.

IF you've established an image, play off it. You've been pushing a lot, so a push is getting more and more likely to get called. Hope it is this time.

i think the way you have been exploiting there tightness has put you in a situation where u can only push because its so suspicious when someone goes PUSH-PUSH-PUSH-MINRAISE. most players with half a brain realise whats going on here and your deffinatly not weak. just do the same and hope to have one of them take a stand

i say exactly what the others did, If you have been pushing a lot then push, you might get a frustration call with something marginal...and min-raising is bad because you might let Ax into the hand and obviously and A will flop lol....just shove...
