PS 6.50's KK Early Line Check - First Post

ceavou22 · #1 06-27-2007, 04:15 AM

Hi been lurking religously on these forums for last month and reading all the STT posts and just thinking about them has helped me improve my game heaps. I play the 6.50s on stars and have racked up about 400/500 games in my first month and doing well with decent ROI. I'm still trying to grasp ICM properly in different situations and I try to review all my games in SNG Wiz. So yea hope to improve more by posting some stuff.

Anyway, this hand came up early on. No reads, all players in the pot are unknowns. Should I have re-raised more PF to thin out the field? Main query is whether I should have just shoved the flop. Any comments be appreciated. Thanks.
