Hello, I found the wrong play the villain, with low pay high roots pairs, and depend on the flop ... but the move is profitable, given the circumstances. Apparent left my hand, then my stack was unprotected ... What do you think of the move? Does the size of the pre 4bet should be less? was it better direct shoving pre? And post-flop, should have come to shove or be more cautious? What is the most profitable play? Thank you :];)

villain in the river had 2.28 dollars stack. I think given their sizing on the flop putting it all in play raise on the flop. Villano will pay with many worse hands on the flop.
If villain has set unlucky, but think that villain will also pay with worse hands as jj qq or any draw

4-bet is fine sizing wise, but what are you doing the rest of the hand? Why are you c/cing the flop and checking the turn?

I don't like the check on the flop. The chances of you having the best hand are great. Bet the flop and see where the other players stand. You can't be results oriented. In most instances, you are ahead on the flop.

I forgot to mention ... the player UTG was a fish, and it seemed like action ... then the check was to try to bring it to the pot .... no more, I was already comited post flop, so I let get in river this time ...

Doesn't matter you were the aggressor pre-flop so follow it up, the key to success at the micros is to remember majority of players aren't amazing at poker. Your profit at the micros is gunna come from value betting not slow playing.

You're on a poker forum you're already 10x more informed than the average joe, just always bet for value.

I would play more aggressive on flop for sure - 3/4 pot bet. If re-raised, then some hard thinking lol For me it's hard to fold KK if there is no ace on flop..

I don't know for sure , but I guess I would cbet on the flop , with two villains on the hand too risky to just check and give them one more free card. If check , then after the raise make a reraise allin , but I guess the first option is better

fish betting usually smells danger ... because ur too busy trapping you ignore that fact and also you also forget villain dont care what you have and bets because he has a strong hand.

The intention of the flop check was not slow play, was trying to bring the fish to the pot, but really, I think the shove was better ...

Thank you all for the comments!

I think raise after the flop would be better. There were two opponents, what isn't the best for who have KK. However, the button did it and only two remained en the table.
But with a raise, you would have more information about the villain, anyways.
