    Default Did I do the right thing with my kings?

    Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.01 BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP3 ($2.63)
    CO ($5.03)
    Hero ($3.81)
    SB ($1.44)
    BB ($3.10)
    UTG ($9.42)
    UTG+1 ($2.00)
    UTG+2 ($0.69)
    MP1 ($3.02)
    MP2 ($1.87)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K. SB posts a blind of $0.01. UTG+1 posts a blind of $0.02.
    1 fold, UTG+1 (poster) checks, UTG+2 raises to $0.04, MP1 calls $0.04, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.04, CO calls $0.04, Hero raises to $0.1, 2 folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.06, MP1 calls $0.06, MP3 calls $0.06, CO calls $0.06.

    Flop: ($0.55) 7, K, T (5 players)
    UTG+2 bets $0.08, MP1 calls $0.08, MP3 folds, CO calls $0.08, Hero raises to $3.71, UTG+2 calls $0.51, CO folds.

    Turn: ($5.01) 8 (3 players)

    River: ($5.01) 6 (3 players)

    Final Pot: $5.01

    Is the push the right thing to do here given that there's 2 hearts on the board?

    Raise to at least .20 preflop.

    On the flop i would raise the pot after i raised to .2 preflop.

    It's not a bad play since somebody bet already and not only a flush draw but a straight draw. Somebody could easily call preflop with AQ/AJ/QJ. With all those people in the hand, I think a push is fine.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    1. Re-raise more preflop

    2. Raise less on the flop - all-in is not necessary here to protect your hand.

    Wastin' away again in margaritaville....
    I prefer overbetting like a mofo at these stakes...

    raise to ~.25 preflop (in tighter games .2 is good, but I like closer to .25 here since after the first one calls they all are going to also...)

    raise to about 1.5x the pot size on the flop and push the turn on a safe card.

    - sed


    No fear, go deep or go home!

    I also think the flop push is a bit to aggro. I do think you need to overbet though. I probably raise to the pot.

    Meh. Since this is the penny tables I don't hate your push. Just realize that as you move up in stakes you cannot just go all in with the nuts and expect to get paid off everytime. You definitely gotta reraise more preflop. Make it $0.20-0.30 to go. You want to isolate it to one caller if possible.
