Re: Badly Played or Just Unlucky If you raise to 800 the result will be the same, if you raise to 1200 you get no action. Don't know what else to say as you want some action with KK, but not too much, you got your desired result with one caller and the flop was a bugger. Your play will win a lot more than it loses, so carry on IMO.
