It was the very beginning of my session and the first time I was UTG. I thus had very few reads on those opponents who I was meeting for the first time.
Was going all-in with pocket Kings the good move here, and this was just a bad beat? Against one opponent, I wouldn't question it, but was I right to shove after a raise and 2 callers? Would a smaller re-raise, or even maybe a flat call, have been more relevant in this situation?
