I don't think I was clear enough about the fact that a raise to 300 had previously been getting most of the table to fold.

Re: Pokerstars 3+R... completely lost with KK
 

Preflop is fine but if it's still in rebuy period I'd raise more.
I'd just c/f flop when up against that many players.

Re: Pokerstars 3+R... completely lost with KK
 

300 had been getting a bunch of folds early in a $3 rebuy? How strange. Most of the time in one of those, you could just open-shove preflop and get a call or two. In a rebuy like this, I'd check/fold the flop. If you'd gotten one or two callers there's a chance that none of them has an ace. With 5 callers, somebody's got the ace, and they're never, never, never folding it. If you're going to bet, half-pot is fine. It accomplishes everything that a pot-sized bet would. You'll either fold out everybody (unlikely, but possible), or you'll get looked up by somebody with an ace (and quite possibly somebody with something ridiculous). As played, absolutely fold the river. I think there's zero chance you're good any more. Somebody's got an ace, and the 4 just filled a couple of straight draws as well.

during rebuy period... isn't this a preflop shove? I'm not 3+R player buuuuuuuut.... yeah preflop all in to MAYBE eliminate the A-rag people and get only 1 or maybe 2 ppl in the pot w/ u

Re: Pokerstars 3+R... completely lost with KK
 

there is almost zero chance multiway during rebuy kk is good. betting here is pissing into a heavy heavy wind. C/FOLD

Re: Pokerstars 3+R... completely lost with KK
 

Yea not to jock everyone else but when im in a 3.30 i'd say 5 times is the standard. You can push and get called by just about anything you can think of but either way you were gonna be screwed because A anything is calling you in these. For future reference though theres always players like me there just trying to get some chips with anything suited and gapping in these things.

Re: Pokerstars 3+R... completely lost with KK
 

Play same preflop, check fold flop oop. Against 1 or possibly 2 opponents I might bet, but not 5.

Still in rebuy period? Shove preflop and click "auto rebuy"
