    Default How did I lose this hand???

    I believe I played this hand badly and should have won it.

    I can think of 2 things that I did wrong,

    Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

    Button (t1425)
    SB (t855)
    BB (t1145)
    Hero (t1440)
    UTG+1 (t2690)
    MP1 (t930)
    MP2 (t1465)
    CO (t3550)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with , .
    Hero raises to t120, 6 folds, BB calls t90.

    Flop: (t255) , , (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets t120, BB calls t120.

    Turn: (t495) (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks.

    River: (t495) (2 players)
    BB bets t30, Hero calls t30.

    Final Pot: t555

    Results in white below:
    BB has 6s 6h (flush, jack high).
    Hero has Kc Kd (two pair, kings and eights).
    Outcome: BB wins t555.

    Bet the flop harder imo, 200 maybe. Other than that not much you can do.

    And as for the title, you lost cos he had a flush
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    I agree with above posters that you need to make it 200 here on flop. Although I could see some guys pushing all-in after you bet out if they hit the flop and have a high club draw (ex. As Jd). Would you guys call a repop all-in bet after betting out 200?

    If he just calls your 200 bet, then I am shutting it down after the 4th spade, thats just a bad break. But if its a blank Im prob pushing it in on the turn.

    I agree that I did not bet enough on the flop. I was concerned about the flush draw so I half potted with the plan to fold to a reraise. In hind sight I gave him to good of odds to draw to the flush.

    I am wondering if I would have reraised his min bet on the end if he would have folded his 6 high flush. Looking back at what he had he was putting out a stop bet to see where he was. I really don't know if reraising the min bet on the river is a good play though. It was early in the SNG so I really did not have a good read on him, so folding is probably the optimal play
