Horribly played or what?
How should I have played this or what should I have done differently?
Thanks

any stats on CO? stack sizes would help also. I think you played it fine without reads though.

I think it's ok. What else can you? If you check fold when theres so much money in the pot youre super-weaktight.

Re: 0.50 NL Holdem KK Hand
 

As far as stack sizes, I had roughly $40 and he had me covered by $5 or $10. No real read on the guy. I hadn't seen him make any bluffs or get out of line at all.

Re: 0.50 NL Holdem KK Hand
 

If anything, I think the only mistake would be potting the flop. What range of hands would he have called with? At the micro level, i see people call a big reraise with middle PP hoping to spike trips, so that's possible. I feel a straight or two pair is unlikely. I can see someone here calling with AJ/+ suited (stupid, but people do it at this level), so an over with a flush draw is likely. In a micro cash game, especially with that flop, a smaller flop bet allows you to fold KK easy. As is, you committed to an all in on the flop.

Re: 0.50 NL Holdem KK Hand
 

I think you will see 99-QQ here a lot of the time, he raised PF and called a limp reraise. You will see a set or flush draw sometimes also, but I think you are ahead here most of the time, and there is already a lot of money in the pot.

Even if he has a set he was not getting the right odd's preflop, so he is still losing in the long run.

By limping isn't this how you wanted the pot to play out? Next time I would raise pre-flop. As played don't be to reslult oriented. Very hard to lay down KK as played at any level.
