saw flop | saw showdown

UTG (t1630)
UTG+1 (t1430)
MP1 (t1730)
Hero (MP2) (t1520)
MP3 (t1330)
CO (t1470)
Button (t1460)
SB (t1450)
BB (t1480)

Hero's M: 33.78

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K, K
3 folds, Hero bets t60, 3 folds, SB raises to t211, 1 fold, Hero calls t151

Flop: (t452) K, 7, 2 (2 players)
SB bets t211, Hero raises to t870, SB calls t659

Turn: (t2192) J (2 players)
SB bets t369 (All-In), Hero calls t369

River: (t2930) A (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: t2930
Main pot: t2930 between Hero and SB, won by SB

Results below:
SB had 10, 10 (flush, Ace high).
Hero had K, K (three of a kind, Kings).
Outcome: SB won t2930

What action (if any) would have been correct? I surely did not want to fold my kings, then again I did not want to give away a free card to the villain. (I put him on some kind of pockets. so he could not have had a made flush. But once I make such a bet, and he calls, then I am committed anyway. Was this unavoidable, or was it a bad play? Also, I may have been tilted by losing the first hand in another, higher buy-in tournament, with AA to a QQ, who hit.

i think raise to 120 pre..when he 3bets you and you call, and with action on flop, you can shove flop already

I agree with zhenzhen, a standard raise preflop, whether your standard raise is 3BB or 4BB, but never a minraise. You are telegraphing idiocy, because you either have a monster, or trash, and even when you spring your "trap", you can't get all the money in while still best.

Also, you never want to see an Ace on the flop when you have KK, so just make standard raises when you are going to raise.

If I don't recognize villain as a good regular I always raise/shove this preflop. VS regular I sometimes call to mix it up.

As played I would raise to 750 on flop and shove turn ofc. No-one flops a flush :tongue:

This and raising to 90+ preflop is pretty important imo.
