Microstakes multitable sng

[ShatnerPants]

The higher the blinds are, generally the smaller my preflop raise ( I read something today from flushy that suggests that might be wrong anyway ).  So if I was 1st in , I'd normally put in 2500, and hope for a reraise from someone in late position.

Obviously I can't limp, so I want to make it large enough that UTG has to push or fold.  Did I make it too small a raise ?  15x bb seems far to much to push preflop, even with antes, or it that the way to go at these stakes ?

And once the flop came, is the push the only move ?  Is it even the correct move, or is there any way this is foldable to any action ?

My logic goes something like :  he should have called with suited connectors or something, hoping to hit.  Or maybe a pair hoping to hit trips.  Maybe AKs or AQs.

So unless he's got AJ with a dodgy preflop call, or JJ or 22 in which case good luck to him, otherwise I'm still ok.

A few weeks ago I'd see this, tut a little and just move on.  But now I'm getting paranoid.  Is it me ?


It's a turbo, there are 18 left out of 90

500/1000 Blinds 125 Ante (9 handed)

UTG+1 (t9016)
Hero (MP1) (t15025)
MP2 (t10825)
MP3 (t12944)
CO (t30180)
Button (t16910)
SB (t8625)
BB (t7793)
UTG (t7230)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K, K
UTG calls t1000, 1 fold, Hero raises to t4000, 3 folds, Button calls t4000, 2 folds, UTG calls t3000

Flop: (t14625) 2, J, J (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets t10900 (All-In), Button calls t10900, 1 fold

Turn: (t36425) 3 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t36425) 10 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: t36425

I can only play micro limits at the moment coz my bankroll is pathetically shrivelled ( and I probably don't have the skills to play much higher anyway
) which is ok when the cards are falling for you, but when you're on one of those break even / losing runs it can get to be soul destroying.

The perrenial problem of the worse your luck runs, the worse you play.  So I've taken a couple of days off and come back to this.

Looks fine to me, i might even be tempted to make it 3500 pre with kk.

^^Yup

Nothing wrong with raises getting smaller if the table is passive. Generally that's something to think about when stealing. Here you have KK and want action!!

If you put in a smaller raise in EP with an UTG limper, aren't you pretty much guaranteed a multiway pot ?

TBH I wanted someone to reraise me, so I could get it all in preflop.

I try to sort things out pre, because I'm still pretty piss poor post flop.

If I'd stuck in a smaller preflop raise, I'd have had 12xBB left.

Coz I was OOP I swallowed deep and pushed - either I was well in front, or stuffed.  As it happened I was stuffed.

If I'd checked, should I have been able to get away from it ?

Sticking it all in postflop is completely standard. You have an overpair with less than the pot back, we aren't ever folding this.

Sadly no, that is what we want though when we are short with KK.

There is no post flop play here.....you say it yourself you had 12BB they are always going in post.
