Hero (680) -- is not a casino regular but has been fairly tight all night...Viewed as solid player, shown down very few hands except the nut flush in an all in pot on a paired board (flush was good) and top two pair in in a limped pot (hero BB) where hero got two streets of value and went for value check raise on river and straddle checked back. Other than that all hands have been non-showdown

V ( 193)-- Older white guy, eastern european accent...had just sat at the table with 200 about 5 hands before, waited one hand to play rather than buying the button. Has yet to show down a hand or play a pot -- Assuming tight ABC type

CO (125) -- Weak Black guy been talking about chasing high hands all night, very splashy and talkative, didn't see him win any hands and complained a lot about everyone getting their on him

UTG +1 (~150) -- Indian guy, called a lot of raises pre flop, and had over called several bets in multi-way pots only to fold the river. Hadn't seen any hands in bigger pots, assuming chasing draws, but at this point had no real reads other than he would put money in pots OOP and fold to bets on the river

Straddle (750) -- Older asian, been splashing around all night, including blind raises in the big blind, calling and betting a ton, shown wide ranges the whole night.

BB (150) -- Young asian kid who had been short stacking after coming down from 2-5, had just moved seats to directly to my left after doubling his stack from 70 in a straddled pot that he cold called 17 with 47, shoved the flop and cracked a tight players AA. Has been very active with calling and betting, had not raised much pre flop.


HAND

Live straddle to 4, (UTG+1) calls, Villain(UTG+2) makes it 12, CO calls, folds over to hero in the SB who looks down at KK thinks for a minute and makes it 43, BB thinks maybe 10 seconds and calls, straddle folds, villain is thinking as CO holds cards high up as if he's going to fold...Villain looks at CO and then calls, CO folds.

Flop (161)
10JQ

Hero bets 95...BB thinks then folds, Villain checks cards and shoves 138 total...Hero calls 43 more Villain shows AK for the nuts...

Board runs out Q9 villain shipped the pot.

Anyway this could have been different? Was my pre flop raise too much? was my bet sizing on the flop too big? too small? I do struggle with bet sizing so trying to fix that leak.

Obviously as played I'm never folding to the shove, but my feeling is this just a cooler but open to seeing if there is anyway to play this differently? I'll admit I never truly considered checking the flop, so curious to hear others reactions.

Thanks

Seems fine, flop sucks, what can you do..even if V has TT-QQ you have good equity.

Completely fine. There's $160 in the pot with less than a pot-sized bet behind. You have to go broke on all flops that aren't A-high, and the fact that you have the OESD is just gravy.

I probably would go just a bit bigger pre, to 55 or 60, which would allow you just to open shove if called in two spots. But that's nit-picking.

Standard.

Would've gone more PF, maybe like 50/55 as you'll be out of position (from the HH I'm assuming you're in the SB).

Checking cards again and going all in is generally strong, especially from a player who's assumed to be ABC.

Apart from that not much you can do, not in terrible shape against sets or 2 pairs

Standard cooler. Well played.

You got them to put in a bunch of money when behind and they flopped gin.

Chips!
