KK hand

[Wolverine42]

Just curious if you guys would have played this different I was afraid of the flush and wanted to take it down, should I have slow played it and sucked some more chips out of this guy?

You have to raise preflop with this hand. What were you trying to do?
What would you have done if an ace flopped? That said, bet the flop hard, don't checkraise. This is not a hand to print money with.

[Wolverine42]

Yes I should have raised something preflop this is true, but it was early on in the SnG and I was playing way too conservitavely. That was definetly my biggest flaw in this hand, but my main question is would anyone have played this differently post flop. Was I too worried about the flush? Should I have seen if I could taken him for more money or was it the right call to take the pot down right there?

Not raising with KK here is not conservative play, it's bad play. You have two already in, your call just giving better odds behind you.

Then you check with two hearts plus a str8 draw out. Everyone and their brother is in the hand, SOMEONE has two hearts or Q10 or some combination, you must bet the pot here.

Then pretty much the last card you want to see comes and you put in a bet that, if you get re raised, you must call even though you're likely behind.

betting 1/2 -2/3 of the pot on the turn gives the wrong odds to call, the only hand that calls you here has you beat, or maybe someone unlucky enough to hit a set/two pair along with you... but you have to think that person would have sense enough to bet before this point. You are either way ahead or way behind, not the point you want to move in at.

I agree its bad play. I've been limping into too many pots, I actually didn't notice it until I posted two hand's here in the history section. I need to get way more aggressive pre-flop and I need to get more aggressive in general when I have strong hands. I have been limping a lot early on in SnG's.
