No reads.
Is this a pushable preflop? Raisable preflop?

[DrumzCT]

I would most definitely raise that preflop.

Bathwolf should be going all in pf. I suck at reads right now but hes putting half his 6xbb stack in on the flop. Why isn't he pushing? Does he want someone to reraise him? Not sure, if I was small stacked and had KK and wanted to be sure I'm not just taking the blinds I may play like he did, maybe AK I dunno.

[Aquinas]

I raise this...I want it HU.

[daluchy]

Raise pre-flop maybe? You can push too to take the blinds, unless you know one of these guys limp monsters as a trap.

Who know's what he could of limped in with. Any Kx is possible. Hard to tell with a limp. I'd take his word for it since he bet out first to act.

Although looking at it again he could be betting a flush draw. If he had a king he'd probably push. He wouldn't want to AI on a draw.

[Shark Bait]

I raise to 300 preflop, and if that shortstack guy re-raises all in to 600 something, I call that, and hopefully no one else is in the hand.

[gabe]

1270 stack with 300 already in the pot after two weak limps...looks like an easy way to pick up 300 chips with a push.

[lovemachine]

if you raise preflop, raise for all your chips, you don't want to raise this hand 3x when you will be out of position on the flop. if you push, you most likely will take down the 300 chips, which is what you want. if called you are probably ahead or coinflip.

[Gareth]

AQ on the blind two limpers I would push here more times than not. Like gabe said it does look like an easy way to pick up 300 chips. .
