I think this applies directly to poker. And this is why the game is so much fun. 
Hmm... this reminds me of the last fold I made... it was the biggest raise I've ever been forced in and I couldn't handle the pressure...
Setting: $0.25/0.5, $50 max NL 10 player texas holdem table.
Me: under the gun with KK and $99 bankroll.
Noob: small blind with unknown hand and $110 bankroll.
* The noob plays all kinds of s**t hands and plays them EXTREMELY aggressive, however he is not completely insane, as he won 2 BIG pots with trip 7-s. But he would raise 6Ks, 77, 8Q, limp with complete trash and nearly all of his hands ended in him going all in eventually. Strangely enough, he managed to win 5/6 times on the showdown, most likely because the table had other noobs, so a couple of times he won with very crappy hands (such as something as little as a pair of tens that he fished on the turn after an extremely high raise on the flop). Also, ONE time he folded on the river to a $10 raise on a $30 pot that he was beefing up after a flush card showed.
Me: limp with $0.5
Caller 1: limp
Caller 2: limp
Noob: raise $3
Me: reraise $7
Noob: call
Flop: 89Q
Noob: raise $11
Me: call (QQ, 88, 99, Q8, Q9, 89 would smoke me, so I just call)
Turn: T (scared yet? add J-anything and a 2-pair with T to the scary list)
Noob: raise $25
Me: call
River: Q (it just keeps getting worse. Now Q-anything is also added to the scary list)
Noob: all in
Me: fold (toughest decision ever) and leave the noob with $43 of my hard-earned money.
So, was I right? Should I have called $56? Should I have folded my KK overpair right after $11 raise on the flop? Reraise him on the flop? If so, then by how much? $25? All-in? Go all in with my KK instead of raising $7 pre-flop and only win $4 as opposed to a possibility of winning a lot more (unless, of course, he decides to call $96 reraise)?

Theres always going to be bad players & luck made players.
Sometimes you can play the hand so right but still lose.
That is just part of the game & we understand that when we play.
That is why theres so many ways to play your hand.
Everybody has different styles of play.
I dont fault anyone a bad player by thier play style before the flop.
After the flop & they play to get a 3 out lucky river & pay high to get it, that sucks if they do.
Basically there are many styles of play.
Know when your beat, sure you can bluff a player but sometimes you need to know if your caught.
Many players go for a bluff & they wont quit either way.
That can cause thier demise.
Some players marry thier hand.
You get AK & you get called on your raise & the flop totally misses you.
You raise & another player reraises.
What do you do.
Sometimes you have to go back & see how the hand was played.
Make the good folds but know your oponent also.
Observing is also part of the game so you can learn about your oponent.
I am not the best reader in an oponent.
I am a good observer.
I pay attention & I learn how other players play.
SOmetimes when a player raises big on the river or goes all in.
I am sitting with bottom pair, knowing I have the best hand until he goes all in, I get confused.
I know he has nothing but man I dont have much to back it up.
You need to out play them before they out play you.

Let me give you my 2 cents to your described situation, but keep in mind I am a pure online playchips player. I don't play for money, therefore some of my "suggestions" could be wrong, just because a realmoney player would probably act different.
Noob: raise $3....could mean anything...maybe he just wants to value the other hands
Me: reraise $7....reraise before flop is typical for higher pair or Ace King, Ace Queen.
Noob: call....if he would have a high pair, he would have gone ALL-in here i suggest, if he had Q 8 or similar, he would have folded. So my idea is, he had either a lower pair or a suited connecter
Flop: 89Q
Noob: raise $11....this was for sure a value test (How strong is my opponent?...did he hit?), if he would have had J 10 for a straight, he would either had went All-in again, or probably slow played with a check
Me: call....this is where u failed his test. You showed weakness here. You reraised before flop, but then u just called after that flop. Chances are pretty good u have A K or a high pair but didn't hit. If u would have triples here, u would have to bet high, to make his possible straight draw (the only dangerous thing for you) very expensive. You did not make it expensive, which means YOU are waiting for a good turn and/or river.
Turn: T
Noob: raise $25....he wants to scare you out with high bets, coz he is pretty sure u didn't hit. He wants to make the river expensive.
Me: call....this was maybe your last chance to bluff him out. He is pretty sure u have high pair or AK (AQ is out because u just called after flop). If u would have reraised him now, u could have shown "I have pair J", and u hit the straight now.
River: Q
Noob: all in:....He knows u don't have a queen, so chances u have 2 pairs are pretty high. He shows triple queens (at least, maybe full house)
Me: fold (toughest decision ever)....the only right decision. Chances he had a queen was pretty high. You missed your chance earlier.
Quote:
Reraise him on the flop? If so, then by how much? $25?
That's what I would have done. He spent about 20$ at that point, so your bet should be higher than his current bets to make it really expensive. If he would have called that, u would have known he was strong. So u could have folded after the turn and would have lost exact the same as on your example, but with a good chance to bluff him out.

Even though I disagree with some of what you've said, I came to the same conclusion after thinking about that hand. A $25 reraise on the flop would definitely be it. Of course, since he is an aggressive maniac, he would most likely go all in at this point, no matter if he has a good hand or not, but I should have seen that same $25 bet coming on the turn, so it wouldn't have made any difference from the money point of view aside from the small chance of him folding.
Now, I would assume that you want to know what I disagree with 
Quote:
Noob: raise $3....could mean anything...maybe he just wants to value the other hands
Yep, you are 100% correct here. Could be anything, but most likely not complete crap like 27 since there were 3 limpers before him. Something that would still give him outs if someone calls.
Me: reraise $7....reraise before flop is typical for higher pair or Ace King, Ace Queen.
On money tables depending on how tight the player is a reraise can mean: AA (very tight), AA/KK (tight), AA, KK, AK, QQ, JJ (loose), ANYTHING (noob bluffer). I use Pokertracker to calculate their stats and that helps me A LOT. Since most money players are tight or very tight, a reraise usually means AA. If you have KK, a reraise is almost a guaranteed AA (the chances of them having KK are too low and you wouln't win anything with KK vrs KK anyways). I got beaten BADLY for $100+ because of KK vrs AA. I would normally fold KK to a reraise, but the guy who reraised me have reraised all-in before with 33, so I expected another low pair (Funniest thing is: some noob also called my all-in with... 36 and... WON IT!!!)
But then, again, that guy I was playing against had a different mindset that is a whole different thing. He probably thought smth similar to what you've said.
Noob: call....if he would have a high pair, he would have gone ALL-in here i suggest, if he had Q 8 or similar, he would have folded. So my idea is, he had either a lower pair or a suited connecter
He wouldn't have folded Q8. That's not his style. He likes seeing the flop and he likes playing aggressively afterwards.
Flop: 89Q
Noob: raise $11....this was for sure a value test (How strong is my opponent?...did he hit?), if he would have had J 10 for a straight, he would either had went All-in again, or probably slow played with a check
This is the main difference between play money tables and real money tables. People will call your all ins on play money tables. Pretty much nobody will call those on real money tables unless they have a monster themselves. It is very difficult to make people pay on real money tables, you need to think of the best strategy every time. Generally it comes down to three possibilities:
1) aggressive player/bluffer = variations of check/call/reraise/min raise (only with a very good hand)
2) fisher/calling station = raise, but never all-in right off the bat (only with a good hand)
3) tight/very tight player = raise/reraise/fold (with any hand, especially if it is a draw)
There are many variations. Sometimes I play it so well that I make tight players fold very good hands and I make bluffers give me action with nothing because I look weak when I have a monster.
Me: call....this was maybe your last chance to bluff him out. He is pretty sure u have high pair or AK (AQ is out because u just called after flop). If u would have reraised him now, u could have shown "I have pair J", and u hit the straight now.
Nah, the biggest problem with a reraise here is that it would most definitely result in an all-in right here from him and I didn't want that, so my only hope was to hit J or K (and in this case - hope that he doesn't have J)
River: Q
Noob: all in:....He knows u don't have a queen, so chances u have 2 pairs are pretty high. He shows triple queens (at least, maybe full house)
Ya, just about any possible hand he could have would give him at least a 2-pair.

First of all you always raise with Big Pockets so you can isolate as many players as you can so you can go 1-1 & you wont run into possible straights or flushes etc.
Caller 1: limp
Caller 2: limp
Why not, it's cheap.
Noob: raise $3
Raised it, he could have any hand as you mentioned.
Me: reraise $7
You could of raised anythang he & might of called you as long as it's not an outrageous raise.
Noob: call
I put him on a semi descent hand.Maybe JQ or small pockets but nothing too big or he may of reraised you back.
Flop: 89Q
Noob: raise $11
Seems a value bet.Either he hit trips or hit his Queen, either way he would have some sort of a straight draw.
Me: call (QQ, 88, 99, Q8, Q9, 89 would smoke me, so I just call)
Just calling is not good, your giving him free cards to his his hand.
Turn: T (scared yet? add J-anything and a 2-pair with T to the scary list)
I find this a scare card for both of yall.He didnt hit his straight but niether di you with your Kings.
Noob: raise $25
With just a call he will test the waters & throw a big bet.If you just call, that means your on a draw still.
I dont think he put you on a big hand like that.
Me: call
I think your only option is to reraise or fold.Calling is not an option orless your 100% positive you ha ve the hand won.
Never JUST call on 4th street orless you know you have it won or you can improve without spending so much chips.
River: Q (it just keeps getting worse. Now Q-anything is also added to the scary list)
Noob: all in
Of course he did.
Me: fold (toughest decision ever) and leave the noob with $43 of my hard-earned money.
To me you made the right fold, it's not easy folding kings but you made the right fold.
So, was I right? Should I have called $56? Should I have folded my KK overpair right after $11 raise on the flop? Reraise him on the flop? If so, then by how much? $25? All-in? Go all in with my KK instead of raising $7 pre-flop and only win $4 as opposed to a possibility of winning a lot more (unless, of course, he decides to call $96 reraise)?
My Analasis.
Usually my statistic reads are right but sometimes not.
I think you were beat since the flop came.
I put him on Pocket 8's & I will explain why.
You limp in & he raises a little to show he had a mediocre hand because he only called your raise & not reraised to show he had a bigger hand.
8-9-Q
He raises way off the pot odds. Usually means a value bet meaning he hit somethang good.
You just calling was a mistake. You need to put pressure to chase those outs away.
That flop alone can be scary.
8-9-Q-10
That alone scared not just you but him as well.
Since he has a good hand already, he wants to see right now if you hit your straight or not by testing the waters.
Not to mention he has backup if you do call with outs of his own.
You just calling told him what you had right away.
You hit no straight but still on a draw.
8-9-Q-10-Q
Now with the way you played your hand.Now all his fear of you hitting your straight is obsolete.
He knows he has it won so going all in is good.
You had pot odds to call but you were beat.
Now the board pairs, nothing can stop him from winning.
You made the good fold.
I think he hit the flop.
I defantely put him on pockets but 10's didnt seem an option since he didnt play it like he had it.
I think you were beat ever since that flop came.
You could of lost alot more.

Thanks for the analysis! Those were very similar to my thoughts after the hand. Actually, when he raised $11, my first thought was "trips!", but I just didn't want to belive that he hit trips 3x in a row.
Btw, here is why I limped with KK from under the gun (I also do it with AA on aggressive tables):
If I raise to $3, people with pairs will call. They have good pot odds to call with pairs and if they hit, they can stack me. This table was a "don't play unless you go all in" table. I knew I wouldn't fold KK easily to those noobs, but at the same time I didn't want to lose to trips. Since they were so aggressive, I was almost sure someone would raise. And I think you are right here too, I should have reraised much more with KK (maybe even all-in). Most likely he would have called it, or I'd just make an easy $3 without having to sweat.
Also, imagine different situations of KK vrs, say 33, TJs, A9c, K3d:
Scenario 1 (losing scenario where I raise UTG):
me: raise to $3 with KK
33: call $3
TJs: fold
A9c: fold
K3d: fold
total pot: $6.75 (which cost me $3 and where I am expected to play aggressively or to get bluffed out otherwise)
flop: 3d9cJd
me: raise $5 (oterwise they smell a weakness)
33: call $5
total pot: $16.75
turn: 4d
me: raise $10
33: reraise $20
me: fold? call? is it a flush? a flush bluff? trips? QQ? JA? either way, I lose AT LEAST $18.
Secnario 2 (losing scenario where I limp and noone raises):
me: 0.5
33: 0.5
TJs: 0.5
A9c: 0.5
K3d: 0.5
BB: 0.5
SB: 0.5
total pot: $3.5 (which only cost me $0.5)
flop: 3d9cJd
me: raise $3
some of them might call, some might fold, but say, 2 of them call.
Total pot: $12.5 (which only cost me $3.5 up to this point!!!)
turn: 4d
me: raise $9
33 or K3d: reraise
me: easy fold, losing only $12.5
Scenario 3 (winning scenario where I raise UTG)
me: raise $3
33: call $3
Total pot: $6.75
flop: 8s9cJd
me: raise $5
33: fold, total winnings? an astounding $3.75!!! Another scenario would be winning an insane amount of $0.75 if 33 wasn't there.
Scenario 4 (winning scenario where I limp UTG)
me: 0.5
33: 0.5
TJs: 0.5
A9c: 0.5
K3d: 0.5
BB: 0.5
SB: 0.5
total pot: $3.5 (which only cost me $0.5!)
flop: 8s9cJd
me: raise $3
some of them might call, some might fold, but say, TJ calls because he has a top pair with outs. (A9c and K3d fold)
Total pot: $9.5 (which only cost me $3.5 up to this point!!!)
turn: 4d
me: raise $7 (if he makes a huge reraise, especially an all-in, I am prepared to fold KK to a straight, trips or 2 pairs, only losing $10)
TJs: call after some thinking (he still has the top pair with outs)
Total pot: $23.5 (which cost me $10.5 so far)
river: 2s
me: value bet $9
TJ: call
Total winnings: $22
I won't even mention the obvious scenario where I reraise someone preflop with KK.

The way he pulled that hand, it was either he had 8's or nothing & pulled a good bluff.
He didnt play it like he had a Queen,10 or even a straight draw.(even though a little gut shot)
Lets read this one you posted
Edit1: Before reading the flop.
It is always good to raise a big hand when you are first or close to position.
More then one players can pull out straights or flush with a callable hand.
Sometimes people will call then it does it raised by the Small blind or big blind.
You may reraise it but some are committed like smaller stacks etc.
Also be cautious of the BB just calling with a 7-3 off suit etc.
You never know when the flop will do this 7-7-10.
If you can try to chase out those blinds so they wont get to see a free card & get lucky like that.
late in position can be ok because you can set up a good trap.
Some situations you can limp in on early position.
You can set up a trap on a raiser & reraise a great amount.
After the flop you can put him to the test.
Theres a name for that move but i cant think of it at the moment.
Basically you have AA you limp in,someone calls you & you reraise them a good pot committed amount to where he will call.
No matter what comes you go all in & he either has to call or fold.
Either way you get a hugh pot & eliminate all possible threats.
Edit2: after reading it all:
Playing poker you have to understand that you can lose with the best hand to start with.
Hitting trips is a long shot but it usually will win you the hand.
Nothing you can do about it but to try & make sure you dont lose too many trips.
Most players who hit thier trips try to disguise thier hands.
check on flop & then smooth call your raise.
Limping in is just like I stated above.
Try to read the players & how agreesive they are or passive.
I player folds alot of hands & rarely bluffs, usually means they wont call any raises.
If they do then they probally got a better hand or close to it.
Aggressive players with try to outplay you.
Draws usually = a call & hitting a hand usually = a raise.
Some players are predictable but some need to mix thier game up.
I would study the table where your playing at & fold some hands to know youroponents.
Of course orless you got a big hand etc.

The problem with raising a hand like KK or AA is that since there aren't any money on the table yet, you won't win anything most of the time, yet you WILL lose nearly all of your stack when you do lose. Winning $0.75 or $3.75 9/10 times and losing $50 (or more!!!) 1/10 times is not worth it IMHO. You are right about observing players, but some of them are not 100% predictable. One of the players who NEVER bluffed has successfully flush bluffed my trip kings. The flop was AK-smth and the river allowed the flush, so I just assumed he had suited AK when he pushed on the river. He then showed his hand and admitted that he rarely bluffs, but he did it this ONE time because "it felt like a really good time for a bluff".
Also be cautious of the BB just calling with a 7-3 off suit etc.
You never know when the flop will do this 7-7-10.
The chance of someone hitting trips or a 2-pair like that are around 6%. The chance of a straight or a flush on the flop are around 2%. I am ok with those odds AA and KK are ONLY pairs, after all, and they should be played (and FOLDED!) like any other pairs. As soon as I realized that, I stopped losing money and started winning
Most players who hit thier trips try to disguise thier hands.
check on flop & then smooth call your raise.
Exactly, that is exactly what I had in my 1-st example
Aggressive players with try to outplay you.
Draws usually = a call & hitting a hand usually = a raise.
Some players are predictable but some need to mix thier game up.
Oh, noway! Aggressive players will raise/reraise with a draw And they'll raise/reraise even more when they hit it. That's what I do, actually And that is how I win a lot of money. When I am aggressive, they often fold under the pressure. Otherwise, I still have a lot of outs. And once they realize that you win too many pots and they see the way you win them, they'll know that you are a bluffer, so they'll start giving you action when you hit your monsters

From reading the first statement.
It is always good to keep a certain rythem when you play before the flop.
Always raise when you decide to play a hand.
It will show them that you could have Aces or just a QJ etc.
Then mix it up & play slow.
The way you play reflects how a good hand plays out.
From your second Question about the BB.
Oh it does happen trust me & it is a probability so the % dont always match up.
Believe me when it does happen, you will kick your own butt with your own feet lol.
It does happen 7 it is up to you to prevent that.
that 6 outs to hit a pair & since it's a probability, it could happen when the chances are he wont have it.
Then again they can have say a 7-6 off suit
Flop goes J-5-8
WHat will stop him from hitting a straight.
Then again what if he had 7-6 suited & that flop comes but he also has a flush draw.
that is 16 outs right there to crack your big pair in your hand.
From the third statement.
That is true, some do only call but some stick with thier nature & raise to keep you guessing.
It is up to you on how you observe this player & looking at the flop if he is on a draw or got the goods.

um yea i play poker. I wonder why texas Hold em became so popular in the last few years, but I like that game too.
It is more interesting than this other game I played once, called between the sheets. I lost a paycheck on that game and it was atleast a 51/52 chance I would have won, but didnot instead I got burned and had to pay double the entire pot (which was a mountain of singles)
Between the sheets is something like this.
Theres a 4, and a K, would you like to bet the next card will be between those cards?

Exactly, and that is why I stopped losing as soon as I finally understood the concept of "a 2-nd best hand". It took me a LONG time and a LOT of money, but I finally realized that AA < 2277, AAKK < 222, AAA < A2345, TJQKA < any baby flush and finally, nut flush < boat. Oh, and a baby boat < nut boat But I think it is safe to ignore the last one as well as quads, etc unless everything points to those (like an ultra tight player reraising you like crazy with 2288 on board when you have 2-smth).
So, if he does hit a better hand and everything points to that, I'll fold a 2-nd best hand no matter how good it looks.

You mean you got tired of those wonderful moments when some noob catches a 2-outer and then spends hours talking about how he outplayed you?
Btw, I think I had the most number of bad beats ever last weekend.
2x = beaten after flopping a nut full house.
4x = had my trips beaten by a the flush or straight on the river. I mean: I understand calling to see the turn because the odds are still with you, but they call it no matter how much you raise on the turn and they ALWAYS hit on the river. One of them was chasing a backdoor flush and won.
All of those resulted in losing most or all of my stack.
However, I can't say I didn't get any good luck.
I hit quads 5x!!! And I won anywhere from $0.75 to $3 on each of those. More than enough to compensate for losing $250.
*sighs*. All of my winnings for 2 weeks are gone now.

Try having an AQ with about 140 players left & you got about 115k
You raise & he calls you
You flop the nuts.
3-5-8 diamonds.
he raises & I put him on Pockets because of how he plays with small pockets.
I go all in with my remaining 71K
He calls me with pocket 2's LOL.
3-5-8-6 diamonds now.I was even saying after fourth.
"Dont throw that 4 out.
Sure enough the 4 of diamonds comes on the river & knocking me out lol.
Hit his straight flush with only apair of 2's lol

hahahaha! That tops my list of bad beats. Well, if he hit trips and the board paired, calling it wouldn't be half as bad (but still stupid), but hitting it with 1/1000 odds was something!
What kind of tourny was it?
Btw, I remember being the 8-th with a huge stack. (Top 7 were in the money.) I was aiming at least at the 2-nd place. I went all in with KK. The only guy with a bigger stack called me with some crap like A9 offsuit. Well, obviously he hit his ace and I got kicked out finishing the 8-th.
