200 nl on stars. i have a $250 stack. my opponent seems solid enough from past sessions.
I get KK utg and limp. 3 more limpers to the SB who raises to $10. i reraise to $40. a short stack in LP calls off his stack. SB says " nice AA " and folds.
final board is Axxxx and i drag against LP's 55. SB calls me a ******* for making him fold AK.
Had i open raised here, the SB would have called without much hesitation, flopped TPTK, and had me in a rough spot.
Instead of losing a mid sized pot, i won a smaller one, but i'll happily take it.
