NL10: KK in the BB

Both limpers are very loose and have been calling down some pre-flop raises, and the SB is somewhat loose as well...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($6.10)
Button ($8.95)
SB ($10.35)
Hero ($10.45)
UTG ($4.75)
UTG+1 ($1.90)
MP1 ($10.70)
MP2 ($3.25)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.10, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, 2 folds, SB completes, Hero raises to $0.9, UTG folds, MP2 folds, SB folds.

Did I raised too much here? My fear was that the first limper would probably call with a smaller raise, giving the subsequent limpers decent odds to call after that, and I wanted to avoid a 3-way/4-way pot...

Should a 0.60$ raise have been sufficient in this scenario?

I'd go about $0.6 here. Who knows, they may all have folded to a $0.6 raise anyway.

I'd go $0.7, but its not a big deal.

Nice hand.

yah... I guess I was pushing a bit too much on that one.

So, as a general rule of thumb for similar spots, would this make sense?

Re-raise pot size + (number of caller*BB)

in this case that would have made it a 0.70$ re-raise (0.40$+3*0.10$).

In general yes, though a little player dependant. When you ve seen someone calling bigger PF raises many times then you can charge him more, too, for example.

I usually open raise from the blinds for 5bb + 1bb per limper.
