    Default Good call?

    In retrospect, I shouldn't have even been in this pot, I don't think. Did I donk this up?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    saw flop|saw showdown

    MP2 ($3.24)
    MP3 ($1.98)
    CO ($5.07)
    Button ($1.86)
    Hero ($7.88)
    BB ($4.44)
    UTG ($1.32)
    UTG+1 ($6.04)
    MP1 ($5.38)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J, K.
    UTG raises to $0.04, 4 folds, CO calls $0.04, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.03, BB calls $0.02.

    Flop: ($0.16) 2, K, 9 (4 players)
    Hero bets $2, BB raises to $4.4, UTG calls $1.28 (All-In), CO folds, Hero calls $2.40.

    Turn: ($10.24) 5 (3 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($10.24) 5 (3 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $10.24
    Main Pot: $4, between Hero, BB and UTG. > Pot won by Hero ($4).
    Pot 2: $6.24, between Hero and BB. > Pot won by Hero ($6.24).

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Jc Kc (flush, king high).
    BB has Kd Qc (two pair, kings and fives).
    UTG has Ac As (two pair, aces and fives).
    Outcome: Hero wins $10.24.

    This was fine.

    You're calling a minimum raise with what can amount to a big suited connector.

    On the flop, even assuming that your kings aren't good (and that you weren't drawing to another one, like you were), you're good calling that with a flush draw as well.

    You played fine and won. nh.

    I would guess because he had TP (albeit WK) with a flush draw and he expected calls. If you know your opps enough to expect a call I like it.

    The play is fine.

    With this hand I either want to build a pot multi-way or take it down without a showdown. I don't like the silly lead.

    Silly lead, easy call with two others in the pot.
