Against a total unknown at micro limits, how would you react to aggressive flop play when the hand wasn't re-raised pre-flop? Is donking on the flop a bad idea? Can you ever lay down a pair of Kings here?

Flop: ($0.40, 2 players) 3 7 Q

This really means nothing to me, I get all in happy here. KQ, AQ, maybe even QJ or QT depending on how fishy the guy is.

There are very few times that I will fold pocket kings regardless of the strength my opp. shows. (This may not always be correct but I feel that in low stakes, there are many people that will heavily bet TPTK, which an over pocket pair crushes.)

The only times I may consider folding is if the board is paired, or the flop is all one suit and I don't have a flush draw myself. Even still I may shove pocket kings, and in reality the only easy fold I have with kings is when an ace comes on the river and somebody shows strength.

Unless he has Pocket 3's 7's or Q's You should be good.

You can rule 2 pair's out cause I doubt he would call a bet 5X the BB pre-flop with Q7, 37, or Q3.

I doubt he would call 5X BB with 3's either.

That leaves just 77's or QQ's.

Get it all in. :)

Against an unknown you played this perfect. I can't imagine playing this any other way 5 handed for a single stack unless it's the nittiest of nits anyways.
