Stars NL200: AK w/ K high board + flush draw w/ 2 all-in's.

[the machine]

easy fold. you having the ace of diamond you now know that the solid player is not on a big draw and at best you are calling to chop which is the worst strategy IMO in holdem. i think you are beat here 90% of the time by at least one if not both players

Beating yourself up for folding the winner isn't neccessary when the action dictates a fold. It's like the old saying goes, "You aren't a great player unless you fold the best hand." I don't think that's how it actually goes, but you get the point, lol.

Raise more preflop.

This is NOT a spot to mix up your play. Out of position, with a hand that will result in a TPTK hand out of position against a bunch of callers a a result of too small a raise.

This is not even CLOSE to a call here. Fold 100% of the time.

Against one opponent--- I still fold here absent a very good read.

Against a ~$200 bet and a caller?

why is this even something to ponder about... insta fold.

ps: raise more preflop.
