Default Don\'t check two pair on flop

I checked two pair and was outdrawn big time.

KQ suited diamonds

Flop: K Q 3
checked in EP

Turn: Jd ......now 2 diamonds on board

I got flush draw and draw to full house

$10

One guy goes all-in for $9
Another goes all-in for $10

$24 in post

I can call for rest of my $9

Do you do it ?

13 outs right ? K Q , or diamond will win it here

I called and river was crap. I lost my buy-in. Remember I'm playing with the kiddies now.

I got good odds on it. After I lost my buy-in , one guy laughed at me. BUTTTTTTTTT, I made right call here. I played very stupid on flop, but made right decision on turn, right ?

They flip over AT o, and 9 T o ,

I would have won had I hit any of those outs.

What you think ? man, I'm not checking anymore but given the stakes, they would have called anyway. I guarantee it.

There have probably been 20 threads in the past month or so explaining why slowplaying two pair is a bad idea, including my hand from WW2+2 (where the flop had less obvious draws than this one). Just don't do it. At SSNL, if you NEVER slowplay or check/raise, I doubt you are giving up EV. Try it for a week, I bet you like the results.

You have been told, not to slowplay several times before.
Don't complain about being outdrawn, when you let them draw.
It happened to all of us, but at some point, you have to learn and adjust your play accordingly.
Just play ABC and you'll be doing something good. Leave the fancy stuff to the experts.
