  1. Can't fold K's in this situation. Folding this hand here is a losing situation in the long run. If a 3 bet reraise from the small blind will make you fold K's I'd love to have you in my game any day. A call is definitely warranted here. If he is uber-aggressive he could probably be doing this with a hand as weak as 10's or J's if he thinks you are just trying to steal here. Like decypher says the situation might be different in a full ring game but given the inability to get too much information from a small blind bet it is a must call.
  2. I'm fairly confused as to why you pushed all-in there. The blinds were quite low at the time and after the reraise I would assume you should either muck or just call the raise here. Pushing all-in at this point of the tournament with such a marginal hand is pretty risky. I would have just called the raise and then bet out on the flop to protect your hand or go for the check raise on the flop where he can't call. Running bad happens to the best of us from time to time and it just seems like the cards are constantly going against you but much of it can really be avoided by your style of play. If
  3. I really don't think you can flat call the flop bet and then lead right out on the turn. It doesn't make any sense. You would be better off raising the flop if you were going to lead out on the turn because then you would gain a lot more information from villain's reactions. I'm not endorsing a raise on the flop by any means, only saying that a lead out on the turn after c/calling the flop is a bit disingenuous. Also, is there any merit in leading the river after the c/c/c on the turn for a small amount and then folding if raised?
  4. There really aren't many hands you can beat at this point. The only hand I can think of that you would still be ahead with in the situation would be Ah Kh and even then you are only a slight favorite. AA KK QQ 99 and 88 are all possibilities for his holdings here. I played a hand recently where I flopped top set with pocket 8's from the small blind. I bet out half the pot and was called in 2 places. I turned a full house when the 2 paired and checked it, knowing that my opponents might believe I was trying to steal on the raggedy flop. I think your opponent may have been doing the same thing w
