    I read a draw here, maybe I'm stupid and I got him to fold a weak King (doubtful). With all of the calling I put him on a flush draw though.

    I doubt he folded a K in a $1 tourney.

    Your bet sizing has gotten a lot better but I'd make it 200 on the flop.

    your bet sizing is allowing your opponets to draw out on you

    if the pot is 285, bet at least 200 if not 225

    585 - 450-515

    i was just scrolling down to say something about this.

    if u read him right as being on a draw, theres no way hes gonna call ur river bet so all ur doing is either getting a guaranteed call from a donk K or chasing away some other rag pair/Ax hand that he may have called a weak bet with.....no hand u beat is ever gonna call here but a few hands u beat may call a smaller bet. A lot of people will call a small river bet hoping to catch u on a complete bluff while still leaving themselves with a stack but arent willing to go busto on being the sheriff.

    i dont mind ur flop bet as u have nothing but A high but id tend to check behind on the turn and make another smallish bet(250-300) on river to try to get some value for what is likely to be the best hand. If u got worked and he c/r u, such is life but u call and move on.

    in general when you go all in with 2nd pair top kicker you should generally not be doing so in order to fold better hands.

    edit: and as played I check turn for sure. If I was much shorter I would shove and if I was much deeper I would bet, but check here.

    edit: his bet sizing is fine. why bet more than 150 on the flop? no need to risk more chips to get the same folds in a tournament.
