Re: KK in small stake NL Tourney
 

Getting stacked here is down to individual ability, as is the ability to get away from the hand. I personally would love to play against players who call 7T in middle position and would easily be able to get away had I bet less on the flop and turn and faced aggression.

would you be willing to risk 4% of your stack to win 100%?

Lot's of....well...let's call it fun...yes fun advice in this thread.

Your PF raise is fine.

Flop bet is terrible. Betting 400 into a 245 pot? Why overbet? Did you want to advertise that you have KK/AA?

Turn bet is also terrible. After he calls your massive overbet on the flop, I would be slowing down on the turn. Not overbetting the pot all in. You bet ~3000+ into a ~1000 pot. What hands did you think would call you?

Now given that it is a 1.00 tourney, I could see some T's calling and some draws. So in that sense, your play is fine. But only because you are playing in a micro. Play like this against players with any ability at all is atrocious.

So yeah. Make a pot-sized bet on the flop. And check or make a 1/2 pot sized bet on the turn (I'd probably make the 1/2 pot size bet).

Of course, but as I said earlier in the actual situation provided I doubt implied odds feature in the decision of the caller. If your question is would I play 7T in MP to an UTG raise, normally, no. If it's only for 4% of my stack and I've noted OP as a solid raiser (i.e I could stack him on a ragged board) then yes, I may play it.
