Sheffield Main event Hand

[MrDigital]

Playing at Sheffield main 10k starting chips... 45 min levels blinds are now @ 200/400 ave stack 14k. I must have a tight table image (took me 3 hrs of folding carp and only showing strong hands) and I am holding 12k in chips when the following hand occurs.

I am in the BB blinds 200/400 and a serial limper/good post flop player (holding 15k) limps along with a tilting station everyone else folds to me in the BB i look down to find K 5 off and check.

Flop comes

Action to me where I put in a bet of 1k hoping to take the pot down there and then. serial limper/good post flop player flat calls and tilting station folds.

Turn

Now I have a pair of kings with an open ended straight draw and decide to check intending on a check raise if my opponent bets. I check he throws a 5k chip in the middle and says "two thousand" to which I announce "ALL-IN" and stick my 10k is in the middle. He calls immediately and shows



The river brings a red 5 which is no help and his 2 pair bust me out of the tournament.

My question here is was I just unlucky to run into this hand? What kind of range would you need to call a player check raising all - in on the turn bearing in mind previous information etc. If you had played for this long would you be pished at yourself for busting out in this instant, would you think better opportunities will come..

Basically what are YOUR thought here ?

Forward Thanks

I would bet out on the turn because his flat call on the flop suggests weakness. If he flat calls i wonder what with. Although the 5 doesn't realistically give him give him str8 potential i would check and call the river because busted draws will bluff and if i raise and he has a strong hand, he will reraise giving me a difficult decision.

I think he could consider your allin to be a bluff with a flush/str8 draw or even K-5, a pair with a straight draw. I would definitely call here. It doesn't look strong.

Ok thanks for the response...

He could consider my all-in to be a bluff with a flush/str8 draw or even K-5, a pair with a straight draw I agree.  However he has to consider other possibilities and thats where I am aiming here, he IMO has to be very strong to call this raise.

AA AK QQ etc must serously consider folding and I beleive this player is good enough to do so.  In fact his Top 2 pair could be up for consideration had it not been complimented with the 2nd nut flush draw.

When he called he was releived to actually be in front on the hand and although my outs were negated to an extent, I still had them.

Just wondering what kind of calling range can call in this position with fold equity in the equation is this a play to keep in the arsenal or banish to the book of bad plays...
