This is my third hand at the table (just paid two blinds and now on the button). I have no stats or reads on the other players involved. May not be a whole lot to comment about this hand, but posting it here just in case.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
saw flop
MP1 ($50)
MP2 ($117.55)
MP3 ($19)
CO ($18.75)
Hero (Button) ($49.25)
SB ($39.85)
BB ($49)
UTG ($10.25)
UTG+1 ($20.60)
Preflop: Hero is Button with K , K
2 folds, MP1 raises to $2, MP2 calls $2, 2 folds, Hero raises to $7, 2 folds, MP1 raises to $26, 1 fold, Hero raises to $49.25 (All-In), MP1 ...
A few basic questions.
Do I get more value if I raise less (or even more) when it first gets to me after two callers?
Do I get more value if I call his re-raise instead of pushing all-in?
With no reads or stats (i.e. this case), does an average person at these stakes have AA often enough that I should consider folding here? (I can't imagine so, just want to confirm though).

If you are ever going to fold KK preflop with these reads and stakes - this is the time.

What the hell? There's nothing particularly unusual about this hand. We 3-bet and got 4-bet. If you're ever going to fold KK preflop with no reads, it should be when your 3-bet gets 4-bet, is that really what you're saying?

I think you just repeated yourself: We 3-bet and got 4-bet; it should be when your 3-bet gets 4-bet.
I have never folded KK after I have 4bet, only after being 4bet after my 3bet.

i don't get why you'd flat call half your stack, just shove
you cannot fold this
your 3bet size isn't very good, you should go a bit bigger to like 8

yeah but the main problem is that you are making it easy for the coldcaller to flat profitably with a wider range
the 3bet size isn't a huge mistake if it is one at all, since you are on the button anyways. 8$ just happens to be a bit more optimal for your whole range of hands

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
