An unconverted hand history is very difficult to read, so please read this before sharing another hand:


With that being said there is nothing to analyse or discuss here. You started with around 23BB and got KK all-in preflop against a worse hand, which then got lucky and drew out on you. That happen like literally 20 times every session for people, who play a lot. Its part of the game and does not matter.

All the times I tried to convert a hand in the CC Hand Converter, it appears an Error to me, so... I thought I could post this way :(
I will try to see if I manage to do it in another hand

Compared to your hand history it seems like, you are lacking the summary

I would also guess it's translated from another language since the wording is different.

@bermejoga : which language is the HH from PS? To work properly, you need to receive/save them in English.

And yes, we're definitely happy to stack off with KK and 23 BBs. You were about 70% favourite here, if I'm not mistaken.

@fundiver199 @Andyreas
The language in my PS was in Portuguese-BR and I translated to English so I could convert... And yes, it was missing the summary...
That's probably why it didn't work then
I will try to change my PS language to english and try again later
Thanks for the info guys!

EDIT: IT WORKED!!! I LEARNED!! :)

Whether or not you were the favorite or not it doesn't matter at all. Because you were 70% doesn't make it right. It's right because folding &/or flatting would be wrong.
When you opened there with KK, I'm thinking you were going to automatically get the rest of your chips in no matter the action after you.
Prior to opening with any hand, you should be looking ahead in the hand, at the stacks after you, at the situation (ie. how many bb's, etc. etc.) & have a very good idea of what you'll do when faced with action (3B) from any of each of the players left to act.

My only advice not to go preflop with this weird number like 780 (2.6bbs). It seems a bit pushy giving those smaller stack sizes.
But when someone willing to top up the prize, it's pretty massive to have the Kings on our side. :p

I think your play was fine, just an unfavourable run out.

Yes, sometimes the villain will have AA, but there are only 6 combinations, you are ahead of every other hand combination possible (except one combination of KK) and there are plenty of hands that you will get action from including smaller pocket pairs and Ax combinations.

Looser players will ship you a massive pot with much worse hands too.
