This hand should really go in the Small Stakes No-Limit forum.

With that being said though you did not make big enough bets in this hand. On the flop when you catch your K you should be making a pot sized bet. Don't give anyone with the flush or straight draw the odds to call. Again when a blank falls on the turn you should be making a big bet here.

It seems like you were trying to keep the player in the hand to milk more money off of him. If you are going to do that you risk them catching a flush like it appears your opponent did.
