Should I have folded? It's pretty difficult to believe in his having KQ or A3, not to mention slowplayed KK or QQ

Reads on your opponent? Without reads the discussion can only be vague. Judging by his stack size I will peg him as a fish and call, hoping to catch the busted flush draws and top pairs in his range... but if he is at all a competent player, there are way more hands in his range that are beating you than hands that you are beating. Avoid this situation by making bigger bets pre, flop and on turn.

Thanks!
That was zoom and the opp was unknown. Considering him a fish, I have called to see his A3 unsuited

I agree with TextheZombie here.
Bet bigger. He just got lucky this time and caught his runner-runner one outer.
Make a note and move on.

Pre is fine obv.
Flop I would bet more vs fish and on that board.
Turn bet is way to small.

As played river is a pretty easy fold. How can so many people say calling is OK here? I mean you are crushed by his value range here and I don't really see many bluffs in his range.

Losing money by calling here all day every day, he's a fish, he has a hand, your one pair is beat.

Would have definitely bet the turn bigger. When he shoves the river, KQ comes to mind straight away, fish tend to call with KQ preflop.

Still, not an easy fold though in my opinion. Just file it under 'bad variance' and carry on.

I mean, you can't believe all the weird desperate moves I saw. Here it's clear that it's either pure bluff (missed the flush) or he has nuts.

KK and QQ does not scare me I think it,s a 3 bet pre flop...

A3 obviously never come to my mind here evn if we know that's what he had...

The only hand I fear is KQ or 4-4. otherway I put him on busted draw

The weird part of it is that he pushed instead of check/raising it. If he check raises then I know I'm beat. here, the fact that he pushes right away make it a bluff lot more time I think...

Since he was short stack I would probably have called here too.

the only thing that you beat here is a missed flush draw so fold imo close though

I just don't see fish doing with this air. Its only ever something close to the nuts.

Maybe I'm playing the wrong fish.
