Ah my first time asking a question myself after reading through dozens of questions you guys have posted. I finally got stuck in a situation where I don't know if I made the right play or not.
Anyways it's a single table tournament down to 3 people and the blinds are really really high, but I have the other two players covered. Small blind has a respectable stack and big blind has a very small stack like 2 more big blinds. I caught KK on the button (obviously). Small blind was a very aggressive and fairly loose player but usually doesnt call raises with garbage and I wanted some action outta this hand so I just called the blinds. SB called and BB checked. BB is very weak, passive style player but loose preflop calls often and drew out like 5x on all ins to make to the end.
Flop 233 rainbow they checked it to me and I decided to take it down before any aces came out for free and bet pretty strong, more than enough to put BB all in and about a third of SB's stack. Well SB pushed back all in and BB folded. I had him covered by alot and I had a strong hand, although I was well aware that he could hold anything since I hadn't raised it preflop. I called and he turned 26. I showed the Kings and he unfortunately drew out as one of his 2 outs hit on the river. I took a big hit and eventually lost all in with KJ when he held AK and a K flopped.
All that and I just want to know....was it proper for me to just call the blinds in this situation? My opponent told me he thought I was just trying to push everyone out with an Ace high. He said that he figured I wasnt very strong since that was such a weak flop and I would have raised preflop if I had something very strong. Obviously I would have won a small pot with a preflop raise since they both probably had garbage.
