I just want to get people's opinion on if a made a correct poker play to give myself the best chance to win the pot.


At a cash game with 8 players .50-1 blinds.......my reads were stay away from one player who is very strong and the other players were donks with money on the table.

I am big blind......two people fold and then one of the donks raise to 3 dollars some folds then the strong players makes it 8 dollars to go. small blind folds and then i look at my cards and i have KK, now my first thought was to limp and see a flop then shove. but I pushed all in preflop for 42 all day.

I figured the strong player had a pocket pair and the donk had Ax....

well the donk said to me i have pot odds because i know the other guy is going to call. lol so they both ended up calling.....

the donk had 66
the strong player had 1010


flop came 6 Q 2

so i lost but i feel like i made the right move to win the 12 dollars that was in the pot. i wanted the tens to call but not the sixes. let me know what you think.
