To give some back ground it was the last six (I think) of tournament. I went on to finish 4th, but cannot shake the feeling that the call would have been the right thing to do.
If you were blind on blind sb vs bb I don't mind a call because you want some action with this hand
The way you played it we are 3 handed to the flop and you see an ace now either opponent can have an ace or a6 or a9 or 96 we don't know we are just guessing here. You can go all in but now you may not be a favourite if you do. But you may have been a favourite if you went all in pre flop with pocket kings.
Why do you think it's good to call here with pocket kings pre flop? What other action could you have taken ? Do you think your decision pre flop was the best?
It looks like there 4 left when you played this hand.

So you feel a strong raise pre-flop, but the way I played it folding was the best option in that spot?
Thanks a lot for the insight.
As played I ain't folding flop; you're not in bad shape against any hand pretty much. Worst case scenario would be up against a flopped flush and you've still got outs (and would a flopped flush just shove there?)
If you look at the sitation you are in rather than just the hand it's prob best as a raise. We all get outplayed regularly so don't look at it like you have less of a chance as others. Think about it after. Think what could be different and then when sitation comes up next time you have a better chance of making a better decision. Best regards Danny
In terms of having the big hand and wanting action, with bounty hunters players are encouraged to call all ins to win your bounty so we don't need to be too sneaky and doing plays like that can raise alarm bells to other players.
I disagree with the comment about it being a good fold as you progressed as if you use that logic then you will be folding way to much and trying to ladder up a few spots rather than playing correctly which should give you better results and a better chance of wins and top 3 finishes which is where the money is.
Thanks for the help
It shows that no ones game is beyond redemption!
Worth noting we have some very helpful players here, always ready to help others.
Great stuff.
In terms of the flop being horrible, we are drawing to the nut flush so we have outs and it isn't as bad as you may of first thought.
It is going to be a bit opponent specific (and we also need to factor in what our opponent thinks you will do) but I think it is probably a call given the range of hands our opponent can have, including worst flush draws. The fact they have shoved, and given we have the King of hearts does effect some of the hands they can have and the way they would play them.
What you want to try and do is be the aggressor in pots, more often than not we will miss the flop so if we are the aggressor we can win with the worst hand (and get value from our good hands) rather than trying to hit ideal flops.
What would you do?........ help please
