PokerStars 8500+1500 No Limit Hold'em Tournament (STT, 9-man, Regular) - 15/30 Blinds - 6 players

MP+1: t3535 118 BBs

CO: t580 19 BBs
BTN: t1105 37 BBs - (16) VP:25 PFR:6 AF:2.0 - 3B:0 AS:0 FS:0 - CB:100 FC:0 - WS:25 W$:50
SB: t2375 79 BBs

Preflop: (t45) Hero is BB with K :club: K :spade:
3 folds, BTN calls t30, SB calls t15, Hero raises to t150, BTN calls t120, 1 fold

Flop: (t330) Q :heart: 6 :diamond: 2 :diamond: (2 players)
Hero ???

Having raised my premium preflop, i continued with an All-in on the Flop. Villain folded.
But wouldn't be raise of saying 230 here better here? It's biggy enough to get pot-commited,
however i never folding this hand so i want a call on this safe flop by some kind of Q ?
I only fear an A and i still charge a diamond draw.
Thoughts?

I would bet the flop around half pot and stack off if he shoves or push on a blank turn if he’s calling.

Cheers,

I see, thanx.
So basically we still charge a draw and value bet him small just to build the pot, then show ourselves on Turn.

Yes, i agree.
Pot is already big on the Flop anyway with SPR of just 2 and we're on shoving mode.
My main consideration was if we can afford just one street of value to build the pot since we never fold and the board is relatively safe (A, diamond).

Two streets i believe it's quite dangerous to slowplay KK. If he has something like QJ he's calling the flop, then he gets pretty good odds on Turn anyway to call my shove i believe... He may even call a 88 if he thinks i simply C-bet blindly
