1/3, effective stack is $360
7 handed

Hero's ($500) image is "the kid", TAG who's reasonably active preflop. Haven't gotten too out of line, bluffed A62K6r runout with 88 vs. BU after preflop call by hero, x/c, x/x, and got it through. Have only seen one showdown and it was with the nuts. Dealers recognize me and I've played with BB before, we chatted and know each other's names

BU ($1k): ~75 years old, but by far the most competent man over 50 I've seen play in like 200 hours of live poker. Probably one of the best I've seen in general. Normally plays 2/5 but the game just broke. Seems to have a good understanding of bet sizes and ranges, has a tendency to punish capped ranges with large sizing.

SB ($600) OMC, has raised maybe once in 2 hours

BB ($360):Old guy who's fairly passive. He 3-bet me smallish from the button when I opened UTG and I folded. Limps/calls way too wide. Was involved in a big pot with on a 543hh board that sent bet/raise/shove and said "he would only run it once because he's down too much tonight", and BU tank folded and showed 54o. Both of these guys are regs so they may have history.

OTTH

$7 straddle OTB. Call SB, call BB. Hero raises to $20 in CO with KK

(I mistakenly thought it was folded to me, otherwise I would've sized to like $35. I think BB and BU know I adjust my sizing based on limpers)

BU calls, SB calls. BB pops it it up to $65.

Hero? Calling here doesn't seem very appealing going 3-4 ways with BU behind but I have position and this line is probably pretty nutted right? Is any 4-bet sizing besides a shove reasonable? Not sure I want an SPR of <1

If we don't want an SPR of <1 with KK why are we playing in this game, much less raising?

Our $20 looks rather tepid with these stack sizes, perhaps we have induced some aggression?

If the BB guy can play 54o why would we conclude he only has AA here?

We are going to face AA with our KK about every 180-200 hours. What are we going to do with all the other KK's we hold?

Old men know kids like to steal the straddle and callers, hoovering up all the dead money. I think he can have a standard bet range here. Fairly passive =/= OMC. But I think he can fold all except AA if we raise and raise should be a ship IMO. In position we can flat and underrep our hand. I usually flat here.

An easier line is just to ship though and if we hate the idea of playing this multiway with BTN, just push now.

4b/gii

Your raise is so small BB could think you are sweetening the pot w/ suited connectors, etc., or that you have JJ Seriously, you can't fold here for basically 100bb effective and calling just brings everybody on board and we are set-mining w/ KK.

lol @ having a 4! fold range at 60bb deep low stakes.

Your lol $20 sizing probably induced his bet, so just shove now. Worst case scenario we collect like $100 without a flop.

He's doing this because your lol $20 raise looks super-weak. He should be super wide here in a straddled pot.
