Default Did I play this right?

$10 NL, 9 players, my stack: $4.39

Dingbat has ~$10, CO has ~$2, SB has ~$40

I have K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Dingbat limps (.10), I limp, 3 limps and 2 folds to SB who raises to .20, everyone calls including BB. 7 players.

Pot: $1.35
Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB bets .10, BB folds, Dingbat calls, I raise to $1, CO, SB, and Dingbat call, others fold. 4 players.

Pot: $5.15
Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB and Dingbat check, I go all in for $3.39. CO and SB fold, Dingbat calls.

Pot: $11.58
River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Dingbat, being a dingbat, has 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], so sucks out his flush and wins.

What I was thinking:

First off, I grant that KTo is not really a good hand to play from EP. My question here is whether I screwed up post-flop.

A min raise by SB means nothing, he raises any hand he'll play.

On the flop I have top pair. I put out a reasonable bet to see who's taking the hand seriously.

If CO had anything he'd probably have gone all-in with such a small stack. SB is aggressive and would have raised if he had anything. Dingbat is fairly new to the table, but may be a calling station.

The turn looks like a brick, though it gives suited [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] a flush draw. I don't think anyone can have better than 2nd pair or a flush draw, so unless I've misread everything, anyone calling my all-in bet is technically making a mistake.

My overall take on this is that this is just a pretty standard beat on a more or less correctly played hand. Does that sound right? Or do I not really understand what I'm talking about yet?

Fold preflop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Otherwise well played. Suckouts happen.

Early position with K-10 offsuit. You shouldn't have been in the hand in the first place. Pre-flop hand selection is critical, especially out of position.
