Party 20+2 sng
6 handed
Blinds 25/50t
I've got 845t in chips w 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
UTG folds, I limp, 2 folds SB completes BB checks.
FLOP comes K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
SB checks BB checks I bet 50
SB folds BB puts me All-In.
I didn't have any read on him but I couldn't wait to shove all my chips in. I didn't even give it much thought. I had him on a K with a decent kicker.
HE had a King alright and his brother. So I went bye-bye.
So where did I go wrong?

I don't think you did anything wrong. This is where you type in the chat box "thats poker" and then go play another.

Yes, first rule of SNGs is that you fold unless you have the absolute nuts. You obviously played it horribly, because poker is 100% skill and 0% luck in the short run. How could you not put him on exactly KK?
Bad Beat Police, where are you?

If you've got middle set with that board, and he has top set, you give him your chips 100% of the time.
But I really don't like the flop bet of 50 where you are trying to hook your opponents in. I would have bet at least 75, probably more, or you could try checking them into a bluff. Either way, I think the bet of 50 just isn't a good play.

Your comment is well taken and I thought about betting more but I was trying to suck someone in and even if I bet 150 or more I'm not sure I could of got off the all-in raise on Party.

At least on 'Stars recently I've been seeing a lot of people limping in with hands they clearly should be making sizable raises. Kings not raising is clearly asking for trouble if he doesn't hit a completely ragged flop or a set, and then if he does hit a ragged flop, he's limped and probably let the Big Blind Special in...it was the Kings mistake - granted he took your money /images/graemlins/smile.gif But it was still his 'bad play'
You played it fine, limping hoping for a set or blank flop against a most likely weak A,K or Q field.

I think your play was fine. Your opponent's play was terrible though. First, he should raise before the flop. Second, I don't like the huge allin with top set. If you didn't have a set or some other huge hand, you probably would have folded. With the way the cards fell, he was almost certain to win all your chips however he misplayed it.
