been a few weeks since my last session, refresh my memory

Only been here for 5 hands or something like that, UTG has limped every hand so far, BB is 11/7/2.9, 3.7 3-bet over 1.8k hands

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (MP2) ($100)
MP3 ($83)
CO ($102)
Button ($102.65)
SB ($55.55)
BB ($107.70)
UTG ($226.70)
UTG+1 ($122.40)
MP1 ($205.10)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K, K
UTG calls $1, 2 folds, Hero bets $5, 4 folds, BB raises to $16, 1 fold, Hero?

Get him.........

imo flat call with the entire range you want to continue with, unless you're real sure he's getting QQ/AK in vs your UTG+1 4betting range (and he's probably not).

Easy call and and bet/shove a good flop, call axx board

This might not be an ultra-balanced move, but I like to make it 38.8 there. I think this makes getting value post-flop a lot easier, and might induce a shove from QQ, AK.
If you think he's smart enough to realize you're unlikely to do that with TT-QQ, AK, or as a bluff then call, I guess.

27 is a minraise. A good amount is like $35

i normally do 27, and prob 30 here.. it works just fine... but am i doing something wrong theory wise?

meh i don't like to disagree w/ dean (cos when I do I'm normally ldo) but I'm never going over $30, cos if we bet $35 we're clearly not bluffing and KK is the bottom of my value range (at 100nl).

fwiw I preferto just call with all of my range w/out history though, if we have been 3bet warring a 4bet bluff becomes more plausible so $30/call is better since he is then likely to be stacking off AK.

29$ is the correct amount
