Insane hand

[moiraine57]

What do you all think about the following hand? Did I play this 100% correctly? Sadly, with 5 all-ins before the flop I had the best hand with K-K (although ended up with the second worst, after A-K made a straight and the pocket Qs AND the pocket Js tripped. Don't know what the guy with 6-6 was thinking, maybe he was on crack?) I was expecting at least 1 A-A, perhaps 2.

Or is it a case of just suck-it-up, these things happen?

Even with K-K, you're gambling a little bit by putting your whole stack into a multi-way pot, but so long as you've read the other players as being big fish, there's a lot of value in the play.

[drmcboy]

with that action I think you have the right price (after your initial re raise, which I think was reasonable) even with an AA thrown in.

[moiraine57]

Thanks for the advice. The only thing I don't like about my play in retrospect is simply raising the 5 dollar bet to 8.50. I think at that point I just call, or I go all in to potentially get some people out. What do you think?

[DoGGz]

I'm not really sure what you just raised to 8.5 either, but after that raise you HAD to call. You just got beat by the cards.
