Sorry i don't have a hand history but i'll do my best to describe what happened

.25/.50 NLHE on FullTilt

I'm dealt KK on button, 3 limpers and i make it $2 to go
SB raises to $3.5 and one limper calls
I re-raise to $12 and both the SB and limper call

Flop comes 875 rainbow

SB goes all-in for his last 14, limper calls (leaving about 20 left) and i raise him all-in and he calls

REsults below in white:

SB shows AA and limper shows 55 and i lose both pots

Yes I think you played it wrong.
At least after the flop.

In micro games, I tend to run across alot of foolish(for lack of a better word) players who bet heavily on suited low and medium cards.

That said, everything you did up to the flop was correct.
When 875 came up and SB did such a large raise then the limper called, I would figure one or the other either has the straight or is drawing for it.
With KK in my hand I would need K and pair the board to beat that.
I would have to say fold after the raise on the flop.

But that's the way I like it baby,

I am with steve here.

If it was heads up with SB a call would be understandable cus he may be thinking his QQ,JJ and even 10s are good on such a low board.

But the limper saw you two raising preflop and he should put at least one of you on a big pair.he calls the flop bet knowing this and he still loves his hand.two pairs,a set,straight or even a open ended straight draw.We are often behind there.

u did fine...40 bucks in the pot, first guy could have any hand, likely a big pair but smaller than yours. Caller on flop could have any random hand. I personally thought u played it ok. Perhaps a larger pre-flop reraise

I like that.

As played, I'm not overcalling a push/call on the flop though. Too sketchy.
Always bet like you've got a pair.
