I call it "Big Sh*t"

Ignore my comments about pocket tens, actually my biggest loser was AKo, 26 times for -25BB. Here is an example, where I hit my flop and then tried to run over my opponent. I guess I shouldn't have done that...

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, Hero raises, BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (5 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls.

River: (7.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks.

Final Pot: 7.50 BB

Results in white below: 
UTG has Kc Ts (two pair, kings and tens).
Hero has Ks Ah (two pair, kings and fives).
Outcome: UTG wins 7.50 BB.

Um....textbook play? Sometimes it just happens...it could have been worse, he could have capped on the flop or raised you anywhere and you should still call down.

Your flop 3-bet was correct I believe. Your opponent would have been correct to raise you with a worse king or possibly semi-bluff with an open-ender. If he caps it or check-raises the turn then you can start worrying.

Value bet this river, a worse K will call you here often.

The only mistake you made is not betting the river.

I agree.

My biggest losing hand is AA. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Is AK the best hand you can lose with? Sheesh, even an amateur can lose with at least KK.

Chin up man. You're a good player.

Ah I didnt notice that he did not bet the river. Definantly bet the river.

I don't understand the point of this post. Is there a lesson to be learned? Is there sympathy to be had?

I guess the point is that I'm having trouble finding good hands to post. Looking through PokerTracker, most of my mistakes are so obvious that posting here would be a waste of everyone's time. This one looked questionable to me and I thought I might benefit from advice on it. Everyone telling me to bet the river helps as I'm struggling with that right now.
