Hi
This is my first go at posting a hand so please be gently,

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $3+0.30c (starting chips 300)

Blinds 60/120 (3 handed)

Blinds 60/120 - No Limit Hold'em -
Seat 1: SB (1,425)
Seat 3: Hero BB(635)
Seat 6: Button (640)
posts the small blind of 60
posts the big blind of 120
The button is in seat #6

HOLE CARDS
Dealt to Hero [Kc 9d]
Button folds
SB calls 60
BB checks

FLOP [Jc Kd Kh]
SB bets 240
Hero raises to 515, and is all in
SB calls 275
Total pot 1,270
Hero shows [Kc 9d]
SB shows [Td Jd]

TURN [Jc Kd Kh] [Ah]

RIVER [Jc Kd Kh Ah] [Qh]

Hero shows three of a kind, Kings
SB shows a straight, Ace high
SB wins the pot (1,270) with a straight, Ace high
Hero stands up

We had been 3 handed for several hands and both SB and Button had been calling then checking each other down with poor hands (10 3) (5 7) or raising 3-4 BB pre-flop for the blinds steal,

Should I have raised pre-flop and was it right to re-raise, would there be any fold equity after the flop.

Thanks
Mack

It`s +$EV to go all in preflop, because the fold equity is really huge, but it`s not so bad just to check.(postflop is OK, ofc.)

I agree with this. But I would always shove preflop.
