First hand I've posted, so please be gentle. Villain is 2+2er.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (2 handed) converter

Button (t1645)
Hero (t1355)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Button raises to t150, Hero raises to t400, Button calls t250.

Flop: (t800) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

Turn: (t800) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

River: (t800) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets t300, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t1100

Should have bet the flop? Not really sure how to properly play this, I was hoping he folded PF.

Call or Push PF. That PF re-raise is not wise.

Villain played this hand really really poorly.

I agree with the push or fold, but what's the exact reasoning behind it?

Also, why do you say villain played this terribly?

Unless villain is holding QQ, or straight up bluffing the river, he got as little out of a winning hand as possible.

I say push or fold b/c villain already bumped it to 3xbb and this pot would be nice to steal without a flop. Really the only raise he should make here with 22 is all in. Calling the 3xbb raise isn't awful here, but re-raising this amount is very awful.

Folding PF isn't bad either. Basically I'm saying that both players really played this hand about as bad as humanly possible.

No offense! But it's true!
