Hi, new in Poker, still learning and reading a lot, today playing micro NL Holdem
I've gone all in and things went wrong.
Can some experienced players tell me if i played bad, what should I've done. Anything that can bring me some more knowledge

To my little experience, late position,K as kicker for flush, till i hit the flush the EV was good, Villain has to have also a flush and Ace to beat me, so the odds are good for me, or am i wrong?



Dealt to B3t3s [7d] [Kd]
Villain: raises $0.04 to $0.06
p1: folds
p2: folds
p3: folds
B3t3s: calls $0.05
p4: folds
*** FLOP *** [Td] [8d] [7s]
B3t3s: bets $0.06
Villain: calls $0.06
*** TURN *** [Td] [8d] [7s] [Jd]
B3t3s: bets $0.08
Villain: raises $0.40 to $0.48
B3t3s: calls $0.40
*** RIVER *** [Td] [8d] [7s] [Qc]
B3t3s: bets $0.22
Villain: raises $1.47 to $1.69 and is all-in
B3t3s: calls $1.16 and is all-in
Uncalled bet ($0.31) returned to Villain
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Villain: shows [3d] [Ad] (a flush, Ace high)
B3t3s: shows [7d] [Kd] (a flush, King high)
Villain collected $3.84 from pot

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't have played the hand in the first place. Tow suited cards of that variety is not really good to start with.
Secondly I would have folded on the turn. I would not put in 20 times the big blind on basically a flop draw since the pair of 7's is not likely to be even leading to a 20x bet.
It is obvious you had to call the river but in my humble opinion you got into trouble by being in the pot in the first place.
I am a micro player too so take my advice with a grain of salt. Hopefully some of the Cardschat pros will come and comment on your hand.
What did you think the villian had when he raised you all in?

Once you played such such a hand you cannot get away from it post flop especially once you hit your flush. So in that sense you played good as you have the second nuts there and only one hand beats you - "ace high flush".
Folding such a strong hand is not advisable. It is just one of those unlucky situations where it's extremely tough to get away from.

Only knitty players can get away from a hand like this without losing all his money. So don't worry you did not do much wrong. Cooler.:evil:

You shall choose your starting hands more selectively. K7s is the hand that I will directly fold or sometimes 3bet from BB against loose stealer. Your play is too questionable.

Thanks all for your advice!
Still learning and loose that hand makes me really more carefully in the hands i'd played after.

Payed 2.5BB (was on SB) to see the flop, do you think it was excessive?

No excuses here, but more information.
Villain is an aggressive player, he raises almost every hand, and that's what makes me play the hand at first.
He already was All In 4 times before (wining the only showdown with a pair of Tens), and that was the reason for me to enter.

But obviously the hand should be discarded pre flop.

That hand is mediocre even if it is suited. It is unlikely to hit the flop in some kind of way verry often. You will be forced to fold like all the time when you miss. A flop with a K will get you in trouble because you have a s..ty kicker.
When you hit it is hard to get value because you are OOP. A flush is too obvious. You will get a lot folds even from the most agressive guys.
When you play a hand you play it for value or for the implied odds. Of course you cannot play K7s for value and also you do not have too many implied odds there because you are OOP and your hand has little streght. The number of times you will have to give up on the flop because you miss or you will be dominated is too high comparing to the number of times you will hit something and get some value.

As you are OOP and your hand is quite weak, you can hardly hit sth. and will usually face fit or fold status.
