Question on ranges

(1/3) > >>

shozboy1:
Hi I have a quick question on ranges. This is a hand I played in the 20/20 sat last night - 1st hand. 2000 chips, 12min levels. 

2 limpers at the 10-20 level. The table is only 7 handed at this moment. I"m in the SB and raise to 100 (with KK edit). Pretty standard with 2 already limped into the pot. The 1st limper calls, the 2nd one calls (sorry, I dont have the hand history to post - pokertracker didnt pick my DTD game up for some reason).

Pot is now roughly 300. I bet 150 on a dry 9-7-2 board. Rainbow. The 1st player folds, the 2nd one pops me up to 900. I shove and get called by 97o. Obv brick turn and river and thats the end.

This isn"t a bad beat story, but I"m wondering if this was a bad play from me. His preflop limp/calling range is very wide here:
Ax where x could be anything from a Q downwards.
Suited connectors
Small/medium pairs 22-88
KQ/KJ/K10/K9/QJ/Q10/J10                                                                                                                               However, with the action on the flop, I can strip out alot of his range here to Ax, where x is a 9 or maybe a 7
A set of 2"s or 7"s, pocket 8"s, connectors like 9-10/8-9 and maybe 87 but unlikely. Otherwise only K9 also.
Given he"s a random and has such a wide range, I would be mathematically wrong to fold here, correct?

Actually, I just plugged this into pokerstove, and even stripping out the unlikely A7 and 78 hands, I have 62% equity so a shove, I think, was fine

Difficult to comment without knowing what you had but when he comes over the top for 1/2 his stack...in the first hand....he"s never folding after that. Would he do that without having something that has you beat?

Tough I know with no read.

deanp27:
dunno what you had but with the action on the flop your range sounds too wide to give you so much equity. You probably have used preflop ranges which now are narrowed because of the action on the flop, unless you have loads of weak 1 pair hands in his range

shozboy1:
apologies for being dumb. Forgot to say I had KK
