Default How bad is this?

I played some online poker yesterday and this is one of the hands that made me think: "Am I this bad?"

Relevant stacksizes:
Hero: $400 (on the button)
Villain: $160 (SB)

5 max on Eurobet:
SB and BB post blinds. Hero raises to $16. SB calls and BB folds.

Hero has: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Flop: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain (SB) checks, Hero bets $25, Villain (SB) calls.

Turn: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero bets all-in....

I wouldnt make this a standard betting line, but any turn bet commits you to the hand anyways, so its fine for the hand. I would bet pot on flop and 2/3 pot on turn.

why not check behind and see if you hit the flush or play some poker?

Maybe you'll get lucky and fold a deuce **maybe**

It's not good... pot the flop and check behind on the turn. Call a reasonable bet on the river. If checked to on river bet.

MOre on flop.

Shrug, sticking rest in on the turn isn't so bad. He showed you ace high flush this time?

Next 5 times he calls with two nines, no club.

When the flush makes you decide to push telling villain "I can beat your flush". This kind of play guarantees that you will win a small pot or lose a big one.

I think I check behind on the turn and call any reasonable bet on the river.

Check the turn, fold to almost any river bet unless another club comes and then it gets trickier.

If he checks the river, bet 1/2-3/4th the pot.

I think I prefer the call any reasonable bet line. He could easily have a PP here.
