This is my first "real" post in this forum. I recently played the $109 WCOOP Kickoff. I played the Phase1 two times, and busted in the last 4 levels both times. The last time I got in a tough spot (which I could have avoided if I played differently)

MP+2 shows Tc Td (Full House, Tens full of Kings)
(Pre 57%, Flop 95%, Turn 84%)

Hero shows Jc Kh (Three of a Kind, Kings)
(Pre 43%, Flop 5%, Turn 16%)

MP+2 wins 96.87 BB

What I was thinking:

I start of by betting 2x BB in Middle Position. All players at the table were tight at this moment (it was only 40 minutes until day2) and I thought I could take advantage of that without risking too much (which obviously was wrong of me to think)

MP+2 calls and BB calls. At this moment I put MP+2 on all pocket pairs, big suited connectors and AQ+. The big blind´s range is very wide.

The flop comes Ks10s2d. I c-bet 41% pot (1800), and MP+2 3bets to 4100. BB folds quickly. I thought about folding here, but because of all the possible draws he could have I called.

Turn: Kd (The pot is now 12.6k, and I got 22.7k behind)
I check with three of a kind, and he bets 4800 (38% pot)
I decided to call again (I had some outs to a full house if he had me beat at this point, and I still thought it was possible for him to have some kind of draw)

River: 3c.. changes nothing. I check again. He shoves (almost pot bet)
I tank, but decided to call, and he showed TcTd, full house.

I really want to hear what you guys think! Should It have been an easy fold when he 3bet the flop there? Or am I right to think that he could have missed the draws there? In my head right now, I feel like I played that hand really bad. That I should have spotted the set, but its easier to say it afterwards than in the middle of the hand.

If you weren't going to fold the flop re-raise, you were doomed. And I don't see how you could have unless you had a read on him. Once the turn card hit, you were in it for the duration.

Sets are the most difficult thing to detect, although his continued raises should have given you cause for concern that either he had you outkicked or a set.

just a cooler. On the flop you can't fold top pair good kicker at that raise. Villan can always just make a move thinking you have nothing. After the king hits on the turn there is not much you can do with only 2x the pot behind. In the long run I think this is just fine.
