Re: What would you change about this play?
You need to be buying in for more. 30BB at a casino game really isn't quite enough at a NL game. On top of it being difficult to play correctly with that short stack, you can't punish people for trying to draw to hands with that.
Firing $7 into a pot of $14 isn't really what you're looking to do in that situation. You've got a good hand and excellent position. Preflop is really the only time that I overbet the pot. I'd make it around $20.
On the flop: Given your short stack, go ahead and push.
I don't think it's a matter of seeing the K-10 coming, but rather driving him out. K-10 is my least favorite hand, but with a double gutted straight draw and an over, I'm probably calling that bet based on pot odds and the potential to stack you if I hit.
Crappy beat man, I had a similar one this weekend.
