KK in small blind

I think I played this as well as I could and just shows how hard it can be to have a high pocket pair in the blinds. Could Tallboy have done anything differently?

    I think this is 15/30, so you raised to 4.5 after 3 callers. I would raise a lot more tbh. Especially in an awful position. After your raise it probably prices in Tallboy.

    P.S can you repost the hand please :)

    My hands always post naff!!!

    Basically I felt the 5x raise (after limpers) was prob a tad small but I did want some action.

    Unfortunately once the first call came, I feared the domino effect of everyone else being priced in.

    If you are using Chrome/Safari then the hands always come out weird.  Switch to FF when you wanna post hands Phil.

    I think you played it ok, depending on the table I might ahve raised it a couple of BB more.

    Really tho with AK and KK the money shoulda been going AIPF.

    i cant really see much point to this thread, how could tallboy play this any better? or are you just posting this because you let your kings go and want a pat on the back?
