$11 Bad play w/ KJs

[Luminaire005]

That reraise was a bad play considering your short stack. A push would have been more appropriate, but you would have gotten called anyway and the end result would be the same, assuming he had you beat.

fold pre-flop, you're too short to be raising KJ from utg.the hands that are calling this raise so often have KJ dominated, this is essentially a bluff, i'd much rather have 78 here pre.

check/fold flop, the board is far too coordinated and with two callers behind your 2nd pair/gutshot is not in good shape.

If you're CERTAIN CO doesn't have a hand because he checked and Villain is betting, like, his entire range here, you probably have enough equity if called (and FE) for a CRAI (keeping in mind that the button's range is wider here as the second caller in position, and that if you're opening K-J UTG on a consistent basis you probably have the kind of image that widens their ranges even further).

I'm just playing Devil's advocate, though. One thing to remember is that if CO checked, say, the nut flush draw here knowing that he won't get priced out of his draw by the button, he's rarely folding here, because he has a ton of equity with that draw if he's up against two callers, and even against one he's getting a pretty good price. The same goes for the button.
