Pretty sure my pre flop play was just all screwed up, this guy has been open raising every hand loose as anything calling raises with garbage

I'd likely raise pre to around 7200/8000 but overall the pre-flop isn't to horrible. Flop bet slight higher, around 12,000. But again isn't the worst.

Problem comes on the turn really, Checking to limit the pot size is fine, Id of liked to see just a call really. When we check-raise him we're really only getting shoved on/called by trips or better here.

That is unless Villian is some crazy aggro fish.

I am never folding KK on that board he just got lucky this time, I think your play was good but it really depends on your read on villain

I was going to say "Don't post results as it affects the answers you'll be given", but it seemed clear to me from the pre-flop action and the action on the flop that villain had pocket tens and it was a cooler.
Then I saw villain actually opened with A6o in early position. I'm tempted to say that he is the ******. Even as the big stack table captain, opening with A6o and calling your raise is overly ambitious. He probably luckboxed his way to victory here, and I'd have been pretty tilted in your position. You couldn't ever get away from your hand the way it played out.

Some minor bet sizing issues preflop and fancy turn play (I'd just bet, bet, bet). Rest is fine.

Fine, as long as you had a good villain dependent reason to check/raise the turn (like he floats a lot)

Based on this you should bet more preflop.

Raise more pre-flop, particularly with the read you provided at the end of your post.

Why check/raise the turn? You think he's calling you pre-flop and on the flop with 87s and 98s a lot or something and will now bet the turn when checked to? Or he'll bluff the turn with AQ or something? Or do you think he could have QQ or JJ or AT and when he does he stacks off vs. a turn check/raise, but won't stack off if you bet 25K on the turn and shove the river for about 63K?

Well I'd guess most players probably check back 77,88,99 on the turn and maybe JJ and TX hands.

I'd just bet about 25K on the turn and then shove the river for about 63K.

Well played. A few minor adjustments can be made, and obviously the turn is a bit "creative" though I don't mind it, but ye, don't get too down on yourself for getting massively outdrawn by a mong who calls 3bs pre from a 100bb stack with A6o. It's just really unlucky that he hits one of the few hands and boards that are gona pay him massive.
