Unlucky or did I make a mistake?

Was this just a cooler? or is there something I could have done differently? Do I need to be raising more? Or is my bet sizing wrong? I was up against a very good player, I don't really have anybody to ask, so any advice would be appreciated and hopefully moving forward I can make the necessary adjustments, thanks in advance.

Hopefully much better players than me will post what you should do, including Matt himself..... but he's so lucky he knows he's going to hit on the River
BUT If you'd have shoved post flop-which is what I normally do because I probably don't want to see an A appear on the turn/river-would Matt have called? ( Matt?? @MattBates )
I have a wide range when I play but with a shove from you I would have folded then
ps I'm less qualified than @MISTY4ME
Turn/river you are always going busto on that runout.
Unlucky-that is just a cooler or, as it is known on this site, you've been Bates'd....
Hand looks fine I think and the runout just kinda seals your fate. There's no real draws on flop or turn so the double flat could raise an eyebrow, but the range beating you is pretty narrow that it's gonna be hard to get away from.
Esp vs that villain.
I read the forum and see lots of excellent contributions which you and others post and I learn from so I bow to your wisdom re-value and agree, there's chips to be had..seriously I'm still a newbie to the game, still learning bet sizing, equity value but pocket KK/QQ seems not to work for me..maybe I'm scarred by the Ace seeming to appear on the turn/river...esp getting Bates'd- hence why I tend to shove early...10% of some chips seems better than 100% of none!
GL on the tables
The thing with hands like Aces or Kings is that we tend to either win a lot - double up - or go bust.
And if you think about it, what's the point of getting a really big hand & just winning the blinds? It's the sort of hand that can get us a 2XUp.
So no, don't chase your customer away pre-flop.
Despite the result, you WANTED Villain to call you down here. Most time he fails to get there & you do very well out of it.
For what it's worth, pre flop you were 67% v to win the hand.
That remained unchanged after the flop - you were still a 2/1 favourite. Those are great odds. And you were still 2/1 favourite after the turn. It was a great spot for you, you just got unlucky.
False news. This is Batsey.....more luck than Irishrose and solucky put together.
The hand was just a cooler, unlucky.
Have to disagree with you about how Lucky Batsey he is...he's luckier than THAT!!
