Sry, I thought there were limpers, at the level I play it never gets folded to the SB in early levels. I feel like a donk now and promise to read all posts proerly in future :S

Surely this hand is a good example of why playing weak kickers OOP is spew?

From the 8-tabling idiot (lol):

I fold/complete 50/50 of the time here. It really depends on how I am feeling. I am not raising because of we have a marginal hand OOP early.

I am c/c the flop, to keep the pot small getting maximum value from hands we are ahead and losing the least against hands that we are behind of. Of course we do not give our hand any protection with this line. However keeping the pot small trumps hand protection in this spot.

As played, I c/f the turn. I completely understand why you pushed. However, how often are we ahead when our opponent is willing to invest a lot of chips in this pot?
