I was playing on intertops poker free roll, I was on the button got dealt KK, I raised it 200.00 Big &Small blind folded leaving me with 1 other player, flop comes 2,5,9 turn card 10 so i went All-in and he called me He had AQ hits A on the river and wins. Should I have played this different by going all-in before the flop or what?

Ford your never going to get a player to lay down an A in a freeroll....they just wont do it. like i said in the other thread...dont get all-in in a freeroll unless... 1. you have the absolute nuts 2. your prepared to lose if it happens...now ill give you 2 reasons why you dont want to do it even then....
you have the nuts, you bet em hard they might fold, id make small bets or just call theirs till the river hoping they would get a hand or try to make a bluff call at the pot..

why risk getting knocked out of the tourny to p/u 1 pot? if its 3 or 4 players going all-in then yea you take a shot. but 1 on 1? id pass and take the guys money a few chips at a time...ill see a guy bullying the table, let him go! then when you get a big hand you take all those chips from him! hes just gathering chips for you to take from him..dont get caught up in it. wait for your shot and take it..
ill tell you 1 other thing, ive made probably close to 100 or more final tables at intertops without playing more than a dozen hands..ive made some playing as little as 4 or 5.......now dont go telling everbody our secret here..lol i dont play there near bout as much as i used to so i dont mind helping a r/x member out...but the rest of those guys can KMA ! 1 MORE TIP..... the biggest fish at intertops right now is Katznelson...let this guy load up with his crazy shit then break him when you got the nuts...dont worry he'll call! :toast:

You played it well. You wanted him to call with a 3 outer. He just happened to get lucky. Thats poker.

I had AK in a NL cash game last night. 17 dollar raise preflop and i had AK from the SB and called along with 3 others (one was all in). Flop was k-97. I bet 20 and everyone folded, leaving me heads up with the all-in guy. He turned over 3-2. I was a pretty unbeatable.

Turn 3, river 2. What can you do but laugh. I cant second guess my play, i just have to realize that if you play enough hands, bad beats like that will happen. As long as you getting it all in with a large lead, you will do just fine in the long run. DOnt get to upset over short term losses.

The $200 bet was large in relation to the blinds ??

Once the flop hits and you have been called after a big raise -
the high pair chances have to be downgraded.

I would have put a pot sized bet out.

After the ace hit - I would have called a small bet and folded a large one.
