i usually bet here about 450.

i would have re-raised to 300-325 pf. gets the job done just the same plus when we run into a situation like this we don't commit our entire stack. a little pot control goes a long way and this is the reason why. you have to cbet b/c you've got so much invested but it's very likely you're behind by a ton. i'd bet 450 and fold to a shove, but if we had raised smaller pf we could bet less and get away much easier.

chuck, we aren't trying to go for pot control, or get away from kings. If we raise to 300-325 its to make him call more, not keep the pot smaller.

Stop being results orientated since an ace flopped

[chuckpalms04]

raising it up to 9x bb from a min-raise is bad. i'm just saying that i would have raised to a smaller amount because i hate situations like this. i'm not being results oriented, and this isn't the first time a question like this has been raised, in fact, i had posted a hand like this a few months ago and the consensus was a smaller raise (i did the same thing as OP at the same level.) the majority of the time we get called preflop from a min-raiser we're [censored] when an A hits, so if you can make those chips back post-flop that you don't put in pf makes it a much better play in the long run (this is assuming you can practice proper bet sizing post-flop).

I'm with you echo, I don't really think there's any question about my raise pre

well i personally would have made it 350 or 400, i don't want him to fold!

On that flop i'd prob just check behind
