UTG+1: t1665
MP1: t3090
MP2: t1870
Hero: t1810
Button: t2600

BB: t1680

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t100 (pot was t150), MP1 calls t100 (pot was t250), MP2 raises to t200, Hero ...

a) make it 600ish
b) push (losing value option??)
c) flatcall minraise

450 chips in the pot = almost 25% of your stack, which is a nice addition. So I'd probably shove because I don't want to encourage any A-rags to call me.

Def. don't flatcall. That's horrible, you don't want a lot of players in the pot when you have KK. 600ish is way too little to raise too with a pot that's 450 already. You could maybe pop it to 850 and then shove the flop, but I like a shove so it reduces the amount of players that end up in the pot. I can't count the number of times I raise it big and then watch as one person calls, and then another, and then another...ends up being a pot sweetener, don't want that. So I vote shove.

i like B the best, ou may lose some value but you make 550 even if everyone folds. and odds are MP calls you any ways if you want option a at least 800. and flat calling is just looking for trouble.

Ok. fwiw, i shoved and took it down right there but was thinking that i might could have got a more value out of it by reraise it pf.

Seems like shoving is fine. Thanks guys!
