stars 20/180 slowplayed KK vs C/R all-in

[sapsuckah]

I really dislike the way you played this.

First of all, why no reads??? You're five-handed late in a 22/180 and you have no reads?

Second, the button has a great stack size for restealing and the BB is very deep -- both of these suggest that raising preflop is better to induce action. I don't hate the limp if the table conditions dictate, but since you gave no reads I'd keep it more standard and hope for action behind me.

Your flop bet is weird -- about 15% more than the pot? If your goal there was to make it look like you were trying to steal the pot after the two checks, then you got exactly what you wanted -- a big stack to come over the top. Call with a fist pump.

Id only ever consider limping KK here if the table was super-tight, even then.. its just not me

that doesn't make sense. you want an aggressive table that will raise a limper with a wide range so that you can reraise or flat if you really desire (yuck).

but really the bb doesnt have 555/888 here because the c/r is way too huge. its maybe 85 but more usually Qx or a flushdraw
