is this the worst-played hand ever?

I got one better.

NL Party 25

I got dealt AK of spades, other guy just lost a moderate sized pot ($10) and is tilting with a stack of approx. 24, while I have a stack of approx 50.

He calls the BB, I raise $3, he raises $10, I put him all in, he had J7o

Why not go all in preflop? You win a juicy pot if he folds or have a 76% advantage at worst.

Ya, to a re-re-raise Im just pushing here preflop. Somebody who re-re-raises is usually not that capable of laying down their hand. You HAVE to bet that flop. If he pushes all-in, your fold doesnt look quite as bad, but I would probably call against most players.

I don't see someone calling KK for set value. He would have definitely pushed on the last re-raise from you. Most players don't try to trap with KK out of position, and most players have horror stories of AT sucking out on their KK when an ace flops.

Looks more like QQ, JJ, or AK to me.

You also gave up position by checking the flop, asking to be bet out.

AK, KK, QQ, JJ.
Only hand you need to worry about is KK. But I agree with Kyro, he probably pushes preflop with KK.
AK is a possibility, though I think he would have played it harder on the flop.
QQ or JJ pushes because you checked the flop and another undercard came. He wants to use the diamond as a scare card maybe.
So I think youre a favorite against most hands, and on the rare occasion youre against KK, youve got some outs; 8 or 9 diamonds and 3 aces.

Still, I agree with others, that you should have pushed. Also, on the turn, even if he was sacking a set of kings on you, by the turn, you still have the flush draw outs. Harder to put him on KK, though, with the K on the board; that leaves only 3 combinations of KK for him to have. I'm thinking he's got maybe AK with Kd. With you checking the flop, I would have pushed here as well with that hand.
