Thought I would have a go at the Pokerstars $500 tournament on Sunday evening. I was cruising along and above chip average with less than 300 players from 1500 remaining when I decided to give a very good example of how to play a hand badly all the way through.

Hi,
Being a newbie, I'm not that sure where you went wrong?
Should you have re-re-raised all-in on the flop?
My thinking with such a small raise preflop was that i wanted a call as i hadn't seen a hand as big as KK since the first level. Guess i was trying to tempt the big stack to play against me in the hope he would hit some part of the flop and pay me off. I should have bet at least 1800 before the flop and moved all in after his reraise on the flop.
Luckyblind: Once he has been reraised on the flop he should have played out the hand for as few chips as possible.
He's flopped the nuts, he should be trying to play the hand for as many chips as possible surely? I'd be playing for as few chips as possible when the flush card comes though.
