I'd like some feed back on these hands please. I think I played them pretty well. It's just that my thinking while playing is still pretty basic. I'm betting premium hands pre flop, and value betting when I think I'm ahead. What else should I be thinking about? I had a very good short session, and was playing on two tables at once. I loved the all in hand pre with the KK because for one, it was multi way with some loose players, and...I felt comfortable with losing the 100bb I bought in for with KK, and loose players.

Sorry I haven't used the the picture cards on this yet, I'm heading to bed.

no problem w/ the first two hands

The last hand I will just caution you at making that final push preflop. You have limited fold equity there and while you were ahead, you could be up against AA UTG but in any case you're playing your KK against multiple opponents which is never a happy situation.

So i maybe just take a flop and play from there.

All in all, bluffing on micro's is useless. Bet for value everytime.

You know Blue, after I posted my comment, I relized it didn't follow what I want to play like. I was actually shocked no one even had an ace. It was a quick read though with the limited info I had,and I'm just happy it worked out for me. It really was a gut feeling. if I would have had more on the table, I might have folded.

I make that final push every time. after your raise, if you just call the utg 4bet you have $1.20 (ish) left in a pot that is already 2.50 before you see the flop. with these stack sizes the shove is betting for value.

Never play KK cautiously preflop in a multiway pot at 2NL. Ya sure somebody could have AA. You're supposed to go broke when you run KK up against Aces ESPECIALLY at this level. The fact that there is no fold equity is good because you are always crushing the range of the field.

In this case UTG's 4bet was quite wide as he did so and stacked off with 1010. Even if his range was only QQ+ and AK you are still way ahead so do yourself a favor, and don't overthink these types of hands. You played both hands perfectly and should continue to play them this way if you like money.
