I checked the hand history, and you are correct.
350bb eff stacks w/vill
Vil was MP and raised to 5bb over an UTG limper. I was in the BB and 3b squeezed to 15bb with TT, UTG folds, MP calls.
Flop K T 5 rainbow 32bb
I c-bet 1/2 pot 16bb
MP raised to 45bb
I reraised to 84bb
MP shoved with remaining 290bb, I called.
MP shows 98ss and turned a gutter but missed river.
I agree he should not usually have KK in range here, but my read on this player was a “thinking LAG” and those players are not abc players. Also, the only KT in my range is suited, where he will have KTo combos as well. My only sets are KK and TT, he will also have 33.
It is just 3.5 buy-ins, and I can play it with appropriate aggression. However, I prefer not to exceed 400bb effective, but rarely have to sit out with such a stack at the micros.
