I know I'm going to get yelled at for pre-flop call, but I will occasionally limp suited broadway cards at lower levels.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed)

Hero (t800)
MP2 (t385)
MP3 (t540)
CO (t1106)
Button (t360)
SB (t1422)
BB (t837)
UTG (t1225)
UTG+1 (t1325)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t30, 1 fold, Hero calls t30, MP2 calls t30, 3 folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t150) K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets t150, MP2 calls t150, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds.

Turn: (t450) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (2 players)
Hero bets t100, MP2 raises to t205 (All-In), Hero calls t105.

River: (t860) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t860

Bet less on the flop since you do want a Kx/Qx caller.

Since you almost certainly lost to exactly pocket 2's, oh well, next hand.

edit: Folding PF isn't bad but it's not all that good, either.

If you are asking where you went wrong because you lost the hand, then it's a ridiculous question, because obviously you have no choice but to committ all your chips here, and if someone has you beat, then its just a bad beat story.
Preflop I generally fold here, but of course it's not terrible to call. If you were in a bit later position, calling is perfectly fine and possibly preferred.
On the flop I agree with adanthar that I would bet less, because you definitely want action with such a hand. After the flop bet, the rest of the hand was automatic.

I'm fine with limping KQs. If somebody else hadn't already limp opened so that I was first to enter the pot I would probably do it with a min raise (didn't some wise man once say, "you limp, you lose").

Of course, with a raise the PP 2s probably stay out of the pot, which in this case would have been a good thing, but overall I think if people always call me when they PP 2 I'm sure I could retire rich and contented.

I'm fine with limping w KQs too. I'm also fine with folding it.

Thanks for all of the helpful comments. I am glad I wasn't terribly out of line with my preflop limp.

Villain turned over K/images/graemlins/club.gif K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

I considered a set, but figured I had to call, regardless.
