seems ok to me

you'd be surprised how much this is AK lol.

I think you're just being results oriented, it looks fine to me as well, you won't run into a badly played set or Kx of clubs every time. I agree you'll see a lot of AK or Kx non clubs here to make it worth it.

i think it's ok too...just high variance without reads.

Looks standard against a shortstack - its probably pretty high variance (you are beat pretty often here, baluga theorem), but its still +EV. I bet more on the flop btw, but its a minor thing

Vs shortie its good. I still raise more pre though.

BB is short. hand is fine.

how do you play a hand like this though if BB has a $200 stack?
it's such a tough spot. i realize that the betting might be slightly different, but they betting would not be that different. if BB plays that exact line, but has you covered do you stack off here against a good player? playing oop is so difficult. a set destroys you. and how do you get away from it. and you're always scared of being bluffed off here. or do you just have to go with it and forget about the few times BB has a set here?

I fold. He's repping something pretty strong if he's raising into a K. I think few people are capable of a bluff in this spot.

Nothing wrong with this.
