Did i play right hand?

[kiko1983]

Hey guys - not been playing long and have been wanting to know if i played this right or not. Been playing in a coral freerole. Out of 811 people, i got down to the final table and was sitting in 2nd with 8 left. Starting hand was AK, so i figured i would raise it before flop. I got it called, then on the flop comes a 7,A,K so again i raise and have it called again. Next 2 are 2,4 and i called after each. It ends up in other guy going all in, so i go all in realising theres a chance he has a straight but then why would he have originally called after my raise pre flop with a 3,5. Anyways out comes for him AA. Now have i played this wrong, or have i just been sickingly unlucky? I was really chuffed as this is the best i have ever done, but to go out like this under these circumstances made me feel like crap!

Re: Did i play right hand? Hi mate :) You probably should have raised on the turn after the 2 came out. If you got reraised here you can be pretty sure you may be up against three of a kind, as he would be very aggressive. Probably would have feared trips sevens. However I believe the only time you played tremendously wrong was the final all in call. I dont know how many chips were in the middle but after all cards are exposed, two pair is often second best. However although two pair is often a trouble hand you did have the top two pair which does look like a very nice hand most of the time, much better than if you had K7 two pair in this example. But others (and Jezza for one) will be able to give you the total lowdown on this hand you played and where things went wrong, if they indeed did. (if you could give any other info such as bet sizes and the suits of the cards that would also be helpful) Either way well done mate, a final table finish is always a good thing :ok
