$25 NLHE 8 handed I have $72.99 and get deal KK in the SB.
1 call 1 fold then a raise to 0.50 then 3 folds and It's to me and I raise it to $1.65 then 1 fold and 2 calls pot=$5.50. Flop comes 7h 3c 6h. I bet $2.75 then 1 fold and then last opponent raises to $5.50 and I reraise to $11.00 then he calls. Turn comes Ac and I check then he bets $3.00 and I raise to $6.00 and he pushes his last $2.35 all-in. The river is 10d and he turns over Ah 3h and wins the $43.70 pot. Did I do anything wrong here?

With 2 hearts on the flop, I would have made a pot-sized bet to make his pot odds 2-1. Your 1/2 pot bet made it 3-1, which was correct for him to call with a flush draw and 1 overcard. Also, your check-raise on the turn Ace was a bad idea since his stack was so small. Nearly no one would fold just to keep their last $2.35 with such a big pot. Even without the small stack, it was still not a good idea since you didn't have an Ace. With all the preflop action, you could probably figure there was a good chance he had one.

I checked hoping he'd check but when he bet I had like 6.5/1 odds on the pot and I knew he'd put the last $2.35 in on the river so I just raised it to get it done with.

I agree with above.

I think the biggest mistake was on the flop, cause on a flush board you need to give bad drawing odds. Pot size bet will do. Not sure it would have made a difference though, he might have just shoved his $15 on your $5.50 flop bet or called anyway.

What he said, and I would have raised more preflop

While his preflop sucks, im not folding A3h here no matter what you do. He had 14 outs, he was about 50% to win the hand so no matter what you bet on flop, you cant give him improper odds.

I have to agree that a stronger preflop raise would have been more effective, though it may not have gotten him off his (highly coveted?) 3 card flush or Ace with a weak kicker draw. Once that flop hit, in his mind he's still looking at both possibilities to win the hand, but what if you represented that PP of Kings on your initial post flop bet as if they were PP of 7's? Now he's got to think that his Ace draw is no good and he's looking at a flush draw to beat a perceived set. Woulda shoulda coulda, he was the one ending up representing a set, and I'd have probably swallowed real hard and folded after my $2.75 bet got raised.

Agreeing with dbitel; he minraised your flop bet, you minraised him back. You've got to raise more to give him odds not to chase, although at that point there's not much you can do against his stack size. Probably would have been better to see his stack size before betting the flop, see that you only have one chance to give him bad odds, and get him stack committed with a bigger first bet.

You cant give him bad odds to chase, hes already 52% to win the hand, hes favourite against you!

You could bet all the money he ever earned in his life and hed still be getting his money in good.

Even if you have AA, with the money already in preflop, he still has 12 outs= 44% to win.

Yea CardPlayer odds calculator said he was 49.80% so I actually had the slight edge here and everyone always says bla bla about preflop raises but you can't go around raising like mad or you'll never get hardly any money with kings/aces or whatever from worse hands IMO. I raised the pot preflop, not really a bad play and I was raising him the pot postflop, It's not like I had x-ray goggles to see he had Ah 3h.

Thats if you give yourself the king of hearts.

If you didnt have the Kh (which you didnt mention in op), hed be the slight favourite).

ANyway, doesnt matter, 51, 52, 49.

Point is no bet of yours gives him bad odds to chase.

Now you didnt know what he had, therefore other repliers' point about raising more would still be valid, in case youre up against a flush draw only without bottom pair
