Well my NL lessons are coming hard and fast.

It's the small preflop raise that killed me here.

2 table $10 2+2 SnG on Stars

Level 50/100

UTG(T2865) raise to 200. All fold to me in the BB w/K9s, we are 5 handed, I call.

I don't like this call at all. As you found out, kicker is absolutely central to no limit. You do NOT want to pour all of your money into the pot to find out you are outkicked. That's a great way to go broke.

In this context, this is a fold-every-time hand, IMO.

In general, if you have to flop two-pair to feel comfortable pushing in, don't get involved in the hand.
