Default Fold my kings? 25NL FR

The table has been pretty straight-forward so far, no outrageous plays either way. A lot of limping pre-flop with most folding to a PFR. I underraised with KK trying to see a flop.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero ($39.80)
MP1 ($5.55)
MP2 ($2.75)
MP3 ($31.40)
CO ($32.88)
Button ($15)
SB ($21.65)
BB ($24.35)
UTG ($22.25)
UTG+1 ($19.15)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, UTG+1 calls $0.25, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Button calls $1, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $0.75, UTG calls $0.75, UTG+1 calls $0.75.

Flop: ($5.10) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB bets $0.25, <font color="red"> Hero raises to $1.00</font>, button raises to $11.00, BB raises all-in, 2 folds, Hero??


I looked at the first raise like a probable set or 2 pair, with the reraise, I think I'm dead.

wtf is up with that flop raise?
I probably fold although that's strange.

Make it 5-6 on the flop and go from there. But I would've folded as played.

Even though I know it's very tempting to "underraise" PF to get action with your big hands. I think this is just a bad idea for several reasons. We should be happy to win small pots early with our big pair hands. It's +EV.

Raise more preflop. The flop raise should be to $4-5 at least. The decision to call on the flop is going to be largely determined by your opponents tendencies. The way it played out I would just fold.

Assuming you put in a PSB on the flop, I think you are behind button's nut FD and BB's set. MUTB and all.

Even if half of that is true, you're got a really nice SMALL POT hand. TP can only go soooooooo far.

I'm folding to the push.

Yeah, I folded.

It just shakes my confidence when I get shown down TT and JJ.
