For the record, people at small stakes are about 10x more cynical to new posters than high stakes are.

OP, your preflop to 30 was fine, your preflop raise to 240 was not.

When you get it in on the flop, don't bother taking the equity. You invested just over 200 BBs. This is not that deep. Be happy you are such a big favorite. Move on if you lose, move on if you win.

Worst all day deal in the history of all day deals.

To prove a point:

Say you have built up a roll to $10,000. A very rich man comes up to you and offers to give you 90% equity in a $20,000 pot, each putting in $10,000 of course. Or you have the option to have him simply give you $7,500. I understand that you are losing EV, but the Kelly criterion must play a factor here.

From my P.O.V. I realized that a $1,351 represents a significant part of my roll. If the $92.15 had been $1 would you still not take it?? where do you draw the line?

Edited.

My bad. I was actually on the BUTTON. That's why the 30 is not 35-40 and the 240 is not 300-350.

If it's a significant chunk of money to you then good, I'd do it too.

If it's your normal limits then yeah bad

Lol. The second time you raise raise puts a big [censored] sticker on your head that says "I have KK+". Being on the button doesn't make it OK to do that with a small raise.

LOL. I really don't mean to sound like an ass, but your EV in the $20k offer is +$8000, whereas the $8500 deal EV is, obviously, +$8500.

Then you're playing under rolled.

I can't believe some of these posters. I am 77.41% and I get gaurenteed money of 71.95%. The worse the players, the more one should make one of these deals, because I can always find more small-big edges later in the session.

How much of your bankroll would this have to represent for you to take this deal?

What exactly are you asking here? Your first post comes across as trying way too hard to be e-cool "lol alldayaments" and then you ask for advice about whether it was a good idea to fold your overpair vs. two underpairs. Are you actually suprised that you got made fun of instead of some sort of "serious" answer? What serious answer could there be. Now you are saying that because your bankroll is too small this play was a good move to minimize your varience. Since comfort concerning RoR is a personal thing then you need to decide yourself if losing the $90 EV was worth it. But for someone who has played in as many 1/2 live games as your bragged about I don't see how it could be.
