Why would you raise to 5K preflop when the blinds are 75-150??

Looks fine, maybe a bit more preflop, but meh that's squabbling over details

more pre-flop but I dunno did he trip up? or go all-in on a donkey hand that caught or was almost there?

Not sure the pre-flop raise was big enough (I've heard that 4X the BB PLUS one BB per person already in is a good rough formula). After the check-raise, easy call in my mind (pot committed...no?) :wink:

He had K T So an OESD and a backdoor flush draw...the called me the donk and that I merely won a race.

whaaaaa? that's crazy-talk...you played it correctly IMO (if that means anything...lol) :wink:

absolutely do not need to raise more pre-flop. you want action with your kings, and you want to be heads-up. you want to bet 3-4x bb so someone with a hand like KTs calls (making a mistake).

Funny that he called you a donk after calling your preflop raise with an utterly dominated hand. You were still a 2-1 favorite after the flop (http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1032729) and after the turn (http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1032731).Nice hand. I arrogant donks.

Always jam pre-flop with aces and kings - just kidding. I was thinking of another thread....You played it well - I might have raised it a bit more than $500 but that's a quibble. Nice hand.Love that comment from the other player - they make a suspect play and then blame you!
