Eh I am def no STT champion but I don't feel comfortable loosening up that early. I wait till 100.200 But like I said, and you know, I am no champ.
iif u raise my raise one more ****ing time i will come over there and slit ur throat

I do like the raise though the K is def a scare card and the BB is just calling he could be playing 22+ there. AQ AJ A10 all missed..his range is huge there.

Sometimes people put out a small bet to see where they stand, just like this one. The continuation raise usually only works once or twice, as people will start catching on and start underbetting to induce a bluff raise out of you when they actually do have the best of it. Always gotta be mixing it up

Standard, it's a weak so you raise, usually pot sized and they fold more than half of the time.

I can 100% assure you with absolute certainty that folding preflop is the correct STT play, even though almost everyone will disagree.

I agree, at least at this point when its only early days and the blinds are still small. You stand to gain very little from raising here but can get yourself in a position where you lose a lot.
