You played it correctly. Your opponent was a 3 to 1 dog to you and got lucky.

Why your opponent played a 9-7 suited pre flop like that does admittedly amuse me.

You might have gotten them out of the hand pre-flop if you had 3bet larger. That was part of my game I've had to adjust.

I'm going to argue with you on this one.

He raised 4 times the big blind because, like anybody with KK or AA, he wanted action with his KK. And he ended up getting 2 callers, which is PERFECT for a hand like pocket kings.

The flop though gave his opponent 15 outs (almost any heart + a 10). He had nearly 3-to-1 odds of winning. So yes, he made a good decision, but luck was sadly not on his side.

OH MAN GUYS HE'S GOT MORE POSTS THAN ME THEREFORE HE'S A BETTER PLAYER

Ad Hominem much?

Do your math again though.

15 outs out of 45 possible cards = a 33.3% chance of winning + factoring miscellaneous factors (runner runner trips, etc) means that, at most, your opponent has a 40ish% (42% was what I got out of an odds calculator) chance of winning.

Also my mistake on the amount of callers, but my point still stands. A raise of 4 times the big blind is standard for KK or AA (sometimes slightly higher or slightly lower) because it's high, but high enough that you will get a little bit of action with the hand, and the flop didn't look like it catered to a set, but fair amount of draws.

Actually, 1 caller is perfect for pocket kings, not 2 callers. And by keeping the bet small your inducing more people to play, which is not always a good thing.
