I was UTG with KK and the level was 15/30. I had around t2500 and my RHO (BB) had me well covered with around t4000. I make the bet t90 and a middle-late position limps. The BB completes. The flop comes 679 rainbow.
BB bets 1/4 pot, I raise it, limper folds, and BB re-raises. I shove and he calls me down with 85o. Feel free to critique my post-flop play all you want, but the object of me posting this bad beat story is to try and grok if it makes sense in these early level/early blind situations to make larger than normal raises with premium hands. Or am I just reacting to the bad beat with a -EV idea?
