put him all in on the turn.

The river raise doesn't make any sense in this spot. If you think you are good (which you obviously do) you need to 3-bet the turn to charge the BB to draw against you. Against an all-in player, you should be looking to jam the pot as early as possible since his betting and raising standards are lower then someone with a ton of bets behind the line. He is just looking to get all-in with marginal hands, and that is fine, but you have to get the most out of anyone else in the pot who is looking to draw against your pair of kings. Sometimes you will end up losing to the all-in player, but that is poker. 3-betting the turn here is far and away the correct play.

Yeah, low limits players just spew there chips when they only have a few remaining. You have the best hand most of the time, nh

You put him all-in on the river. Seems standard to me. Too bad BB didn't come along. I would've 3-bet the turn though, might get BB in for more bets since he allready called 2 cold.

well as my luck would have it, he flopped a set of 7s. Thanks for the replies.

OH NOES!!!!!

do you understand that the correct play is 3-betting the turn or are you just sad that you lost this hand?

yea I'm not sure why I didn't 3-bet at the time. Thats exactly what I was expecting from the post.

Re: KQo in CO
 

You should be happy, could've lost way more in that pot. Ignore results, focus on whether or not playing the hand the right way....

Re: KQo in CO
 

Just to emphasize, if you 3bet the turn, you get to win some of BB's money uncontested by SB even if he does happen to have you beat.
