If you know it was a bad play what are you posting this for?

Bad play, confirmed.


your 3bet is too small. The fastest improvement you can take away is to 3b the correct sizes IP and OOP.


you wanna know why? ill tell you: simply put i wanted to see if somebody could help me figure out how to avoid making the same mistake twice

Bigger pre. 3x IP is normal.

Turn call is fine. You have a double gunshot and are drawing to the nuts. You have a lot of implied odds on a K river in particular. You are also in position so can bluff rivers you miss if villain checks to you.

You can raise river as played. You have more Kx and AK than he does and people do a poor job of putting enough strong hands in their block betting range so you should get a lot of folds from his likely 2 pair/set heavy range. Calling I think is the worst option.


Yes bigger pre. I think cbet is better you fold out low pp and AJ.
Turn call is fine, river is fold to me, you can jam if you want.


3betsize is ridiculous. People already told you this about 20 times+
You are either a troll or just not smart enough for poker (NL0,02!!!!)

Bro.... come on man. No need for that.

OP, think you know the 3-bet issue. Turn call is OK, and river is a fold. The sizing looks like he's trying to bait you.

We 3b larger OOP because our post flop EV is lower due to positional disadvantage and we're more incentivized to take it down preflop. Vs a 2.5bb open I go 8bb IP and 11bb OOP.
People are going to be more willing to help you if you're not so defensive. Anero gave you the right advice, there's no need to be a prick to him just because he didn't elaborate exactly the way you wanted.

I dont know Kendoos' words are harsh but truthful imo. The problem with op isnt that they need to improve that could be said of all of us. The problem is OP is to stubborn and arrogant and seems to lack the ability to self reflect and realize they need to improve. They cant beat 2nl but have somehow convinced themselves they're smarter then everyone else. You're wasting your time giving serious advice as it will be ignored if it isn't inline with what they already believe
