Ok, new hand guys, I had a information about this two guys (player 8 and player 9), I knew both were fish, paying with very marginal hands, but I loose to them with this beautiful hand.

I mean, I think I did some mistake, maybe the first raise. Should be more?! 2000? or I just should fold at flop?

Can see it here:

Playing the hand properly, which I would think you did, does not guarantee winning the hand.

Knowing that they were playing marginal hands, I don't think there was anything you could have done differently. If they called 1590 they were probably going to call 2K or and all in. You had the money in with the lead and he just sucked out on you. IF and that is a big IF, if you could have seen your way to fold you could have saved some chips. I am not sure very many of us could have folded. After his shove, He had to have had a draw as I don't think he would have shoved with a pair. Two pair doesn't seem likely with that board. Different river, you wouldn't be questioning your play.

My friend already watched the video and I do not think you made a mistake in the way you played the hand .... I would have played it the same way you did ... but remember that in poker there is also a percentage Of luck ... and remember also that however strong the hand you have does not guarantee 100% that you will win the hand.

I don't mind the way you played it, got your chips in with the lead and a pretty good one. Poker is still a game of luck too!

Just because you lost the hand it doesn't mean that you played badly.
Because of the variance you will have moments when you will lose and you will start doubt yourself, thinking you made mistakes even when you played well the hands, you need to disregards these thoughts and believe in yourself and keep playing your A game.
I don't think player 9 would fold to a 2000 raise if he is willing to call a 1590 one, also keep in mind that most players if they have invested a third of their stack in the pot and they catch any piece of the flop they wouldn't fold for the rest of their chips.
Regarding the fold the flop question i think it can't be the case since this flop it is good for your hand and the pot it is already very large.

frankly I think you did everything right, just unfortunate that villain ended up with open-ended draw.....he wasn't going to fold that. some people live on connectors, enough to call a substantial raise.

I think you played right, but unfortunately poker is 50% of luck and 50% of experience

I thought that was a great raise preflop to try and get yourself one on one with one of the limpers. But, like you said, these were fishies playing marginal hands. It's unfortunate that the one guy got an open ender and thought he should risk it all on that. Too bad for you that he hit for a straight but I can't see how you could've played that any differently.

You play it fine the raise pre Flop was right and dou Bad Position, but I guess you shouldn't call the all in even you had him covered with your chip stack the price was high and there straight and flush draws on the board to many outs for player9 is sometimes hard to give up such hands I know that very well.

Is a strong hand so your bet was good there was a bit of bad luck since with it you will win the majority of the hands do not worry that they have lost themselves profecionales

Perhaps a more aggressive preflop, because post flo is more complicated, he already gave all in the face post-flop, maybe had a crack JJ, pair of KK would not work in the same way, I gave up post-flop with pocket KK

When you slow play monsters, you give weaker hands a chance to catch up, but when they don't you make more money. You took a risk there, and lost. Next time, you can play exactly the same way, or raise way more with KK preflop.

Tournaments are designed to punish earlier luck with later luck. As you can see this is one of many examples of tournaments being ridiculously unfair on smart players. consider switching to cash games for your income and you will find that playing KK like that is very profitable for you against such players. :)

They overplayed their hand badly.
