    $27 KO on Stars, Bet sizing question?

    No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t600/t1200 Blinds + t125 - 8 players



    No History with Villian.

    UTG+1: t27615 M = 9.86
    MP1: t13777 M = 4.92
    MP2: t54340 M = 19.41
    CO: t5717 M = 2.04
    BTN: t43717 M = 15.61
    SB: t13726 M = 4.90
    Villain (BB): t38074 M = 13.60
    Hero (UTG): t34653 M = 12.38

    Pre Flop: (t2800)
    Hero is UTG with K K
    Hero raises to t2775, 6 folds, BB calls t1575

    Flop: (t7150) 8s 7d 5c (2 players)
    BB bets t2400
    Hero ????

    What should our raise be here? Shoving seems like we'd be missing out on a load of value.

    Do we have to raise the flop? I might just call and hope the villain bombs the turn and i'll raise then. It's a case of will the villain put it on on the flop with a top pair hand? This looks a quite weak kind of bet if you ask me and villain might be just chancing their arm because the board doesn't really hit much of a solid UTG range. This leads to me generally look weak and they are plays some people make with air in the hope of blowing you off your hand.

    If the villain has complete air, we want him to have at least another barrel at it in the hope he thinks he can maybe get our AK/AQ etc type hands to fold on a board like this. I reckon, a huge percentage of the time the villain here either wants to see a cheap turn card or has complete air which both leave the hand if we raise. I can't really see the villain donking here with a set. It will probably be more of a check/raise line.

    Anyway if you want to raise here, i'd personally make it 4999 in the hopes of inducing and snap the shove.

      Villain wants to get his A8 in vrs out AK/AQ hands, not fold us out.
      I think raising to 4999 is too small given the size of the pot. I make it 11000

        I'm making it small size trying to induce a shove from worse if I do raise. I don't think making it 11k is really inducing.
