Just come on to this cash table ( six handed 25/50c), after being dumped out of 2 SNGs in 10 minutes when my boat was trumped by a bigger one, and my trip 
were out kicked by a better trip , so slightly tilting!!
Second or third hand so no reads I am dealt pocket Jacks in MP, I raise to $1.50, everyone else folds to the BB who makes up.
Flop KJ8 rainbow, he leads out with $3.50, I raise to $7, He pushes for approx $45, and has me covered.
I pretty much snap call, scared of set of Kings,or AK, but not really as surely he would have re raised pre, or maybe a set of eights.
Anyway he flips over K8 for two pair, and binks a K on the turn.
Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on the way the hand was played by both of us, I have a few thoughts.
Mikey you should be prepared to lose your stack in most situations like this , that also applies to villain with top and bottom pair.. To maximize your pots u have to play this way , u both played it fine getting all aggressive on the flop.
As for the min raise , a min raise will work at 25c/50c, but only if your opponent is a bluffing weak player type [so u need reads that u can make him fold on the flop or later if he calls on 4th or 5th street]
Theres not much point in balancing till u sense that some players are adjusting to u or others as per AMRN -
he"s just been seen to min-raise with the second nuts, so surely next time he min-raises the flop with air, he is likely to get some sort of respect from observant players
Why do u question villains play mikey?
