set over set in PL

I was playing in the $200 buy-in 1-2 game on UB and I was up to about $700. The next largest stack had about $400 and opened for a raise to $7. I called with 66 to see a flop of K56, two spades. I led for the $20 pot, and he raised to $40. I reraised the maximum, making it $140 to go. He reraised all-in, about $240, and I called. The final two cards were K5 and he showed 4 kings. How badly did I play this hand?

"How badly did I play this hand?"


I think that you are the only one who can answer that question. When he makes the $240 all-in bet, based on your knowledge of the player, what was the likelyhood that he had the nuts?


How were you playing - was there any way he could have thought that you would re-raise $140 with AK? If not, you are left with 2 hands to put him on, KK and 55. Would he pot raise pre-flop with 55 - not many players would do that, preferring to limp and try to break someone with a set.
