Just posting this really icky spot with KK. I did an equity calculation against quite a generous range of TT-AA, AKs, AKo, AQs, AQo, AJs, AJo, KQs, KQo and I only had 37% so I don't think that I could have called any bet on the turn or river.

I was just wondering if I could have played the hand differently. Would a bigger 4-bet size preflop have been in order?

Put all the money in the middle preflop. He only played one hand before this and where he 3-bet and he is probably a very bad player.

I think you played it well. You could have tried to just commit him pre-flop since he was short, but I don't mind the sizing overal.

What do others think about Check calling/ raising the flop?
