Villain was chip leader - VPIP about 40%, very erratic play. Felt some strength after calling my raise PF. I was putting him a weaker Kx, folded last second as we had just gotten in the money and was wanting to make a deep run. Did end up making final table, but would have loved to have had those extra chips.

I think calling flop wasnt best decision. I d better like to reraise cause preflop you show the strength and that reraise could give youmore information about his hand. Most of times he gonna fold his hand but if he calls he never bet the river without K.

Preflop
Often I complain about isolation raises being to small, but this time I actually think, it was a little large.

Postflop
If you call on the turn with a hand, that has little hope of improving, you typically need to be prepared to call again on a blank river card like this. Yes backdoor flush came in, but that does not really matter, and especially not when he bet so small again. Its still either he has a K, or he does not. And if you did not believe him on the turn, why did you suddenly believe him on the river? Either fold turn or stick with your plan and call him down. Giving his bet sizing probably call down.

For me raise to 19,600 is too big. SB + BB + call + ante (10%? 8x320) = 10,560
I would like to see raise like 11,000.
He is leading, why? He probably check every king here and play check-call, sets the same, because in your range are KQs maybe KQo AK KK AA even with QQ maybe with JJ you are going to make a c-bet around 40% of pot
Flop is quite safe and even when I would have range like above I would play check-call with opponent like him because he gave me for free his chips, for me he doesn't have king in this spot, because he wants to scare you, and he succeed.
Sooo, I like your calls on the flop and turn so much. Turn and river are a blank. If you call on the turn you should call on the river too. Runner runner flush? I don't believe with that. Good luck
