HERO? in this spot basicaly i have to choose to go all in in this spot or fold because i have about 13$ left


Here are two hands when i get KK. First one was just 10th hand played against that opponent. And in second one I limped because i have seen my opponent getting aggresive when i limp. When i played against second opponent i have seen him double barrel and then lay down his hand sometimes after my shove. But this time he looks strong. I will write results of these hands later, but which actions would you guys do different in these situations or these are played ok, until this stage?

Call first one, he's range is super wide on the turn, nice slowplay pre.

Call second one and I call any river if I haven't seen him give up with draws on the river before, if you have seen him not following thru on 3rd barrel before with missed hands, fold river.

Yes, i think i cant fold in the first one. And in the second one maybe i should have reraised him on the flop its too much of slowplay there with a call maybe

I dont hate the slowplay in the first one but to just limp call the button in the second seems pretty weak, i would prefer just a standard raise pf and a 4 bet if he 3 bets, your only playing short stack so it should be pretty easy to get it all in pre or OTF if he catches anything. imo

are you slow playing all of ur big pockets?

Buy in full ffs. Quit slowplaying ffs

No i dont slowplay all my big pockets, its just two examples. I think i did this in these situations because i hadnt had much of a bankroll then and i wanted to maximize my profit by a little bit slowplaying. In the first hand i called his shove he and showed Q 6 and the river was A .
In the second hand i shoved on the turn on his 5$ raise, he had only 5$ left so he called and showed AQ . The river was 8 so i lost that one too.

Slowplaying really didnt worked good in these situations...

Did you have any specific reason to slowplay in these spots? Normally against an opponent I don't know I'm 4 betting here all the time...allows you to get stacks in easier and if match continues he knows you will be aggressive.

U realise he 30-40bbs deep in these hands? Obv makes flatting better than if deeper as super easy to get stacks in in 3bet pot this shallow. Limping still sucks tho.

This.

1: I don't mind the flat pre but I'd rather 4bet. as played snap call
2: wtf are you doing. as played jam but I never get here this way

How many % hands are you raising preflop from the button? I play short and fast tables so usual stack is 50bb deep. I usually raise about 70-80% of hands on the button, plus occasionally I vary like raise on the button to 1.20 or even to 1.00 to find out if he folds too much. So if you vary you could also minraise with KK. Allthough I allmost allways raise even with AA. I limp maybe 5-10% hands when his stack is getting short like 16bbs thats 8USD. I am not sure about that, but since shorts are more ready tu push it in I don't like very much shoving my self. Allthough I am ready to shove with A6+, any pockets and any KT+, QT+.
So my goal, raise more on the button and other thing if you raise and then make first time limp, it might get opponent suspicios or making a raise himself and then you can easily if not shove then atleas raise to 4.90-5.50.

I'd call both.
