What would u do??

Played my first real money session today, and although it started well (went $10 up lol), I lost it all on a biggy, just wanna see how u guys would have played it.

Well sb was 0.25 and bb was 0.5
I was dealt A(s) and K(c) and in late position i raised i tripled the bb.
Got two folds and two calls.

Flop comes, A(d) k (d) 3(d)
FLopped top pairs, but was worried about the flush, all checked.

Turn 6(c), two check, so i raise $1.5 hoping no one has the flush
one call and one check

River 8(s), he checks so i raise $2 he goes all in and i have to call
He shows Q(d) 2(d).

He set a perfect nut flush trap for me, but how would u have played it? wat did i do wrong here?

Cheers guys

When you flop 2 pair on a "flushed board" Odds are you have the best hand...for now. Knowing that, I would've bet 1/2 the pot on that flop and re-evaluate the turn. That would be a tough fold, however an easy fold if your playing weak opponents and go all in only with the best hand.

if your calling an all in you need a good hand, which you had, but on a flush board you need a good read to know if its a bluff or not. without the read its an easy fold. you played it fine up until calling the all in.

Once the flush board pops with you holding top two pair, your implied odds are devastated. That is to say that if you have the winning hand, not many people are going to put money in. Given what you held, you have to ask why your opponent would go all in, when chances are he didn't even hold first or second pair. The answer is a flush.

In the future, when a flush board pops, play the whole hand as if someone has a flush. Place cautious bets, and don't go deep into your stack. Don't convince yourself the flush isn't out there, because people play a flopped flush all sorts of different ways. I've seen someone slow play a baby flush where they held 23 of suit, risking the 4th flush card that might beat them in the name of slowplaying to increase their implied odds. A flush board where you hold top pair is quite often a trap, but you have to bet decent with a strong hand until someone really gets heavy, since you don't want one card flush draws hanging around. You at least want them to pay.

A heavy bet on the flop (3/4 pot to full pot) would have red flagged the flopped flush, and made you check fold to a turn bet.
