Anything I should have done differently or is this just an unfortunate turn/river scenario? Should I have folded to the pre-flop action? No way I was laying it down on the flop.

EDIT: Just realized that this should probably be in the HH forum

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP ($4.94)
CO ($4.94)
Hero ($16.32)
SB ($9.15)
BB ($36.26)
UTG ($4.84)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, 6. SB posts a blind of $0.02.
2 folds, CO raises to $0.14, Hero calls $0.14, 1 fold, BB raises to $0.2, CO raises to $0.34, Hero calls $0.20, BB calls $0.10.

Flop: ($1.04) 4, A, Q (3 players)
BB bets $0.04, CO raises to $2, Hero raises to $3.96, BB folds, Hero calls $0.64.

Turn: ($7.68) Q (2 players)

River: ($7.68) A (2 players)

Final Pot: $7.68

Results in white below:
CO has Ac Kc (full house, aces full of queens).
Hero has Kh 6h (flush, ace high).
Outcome: CO wins $7.68.

Fold preflop.

Post-flop - you got all-in and got called with the nuts. Can't do any better than that.

Yeah, that's what I should have done, the only other thing I would have changed...not played after the St. Patrick's Day parade yesterday. Looking back at my HH for the evening session makes me laugh. I finished with a profit but I had a few nut hands that paid well. But overall stupid decisions on my part.

 Yeah preflop fold.. you avoid these kinds of situations by going with Axs (x=2-5) and not with a K or Q. I destacked a guy yesterday because of this very same situation you were in here.

But other than that, this is simply bad luck.

Sorry. Maybe I'm just slow.
How would having an a-high flush be less vulnerable to someone making a boat than a k-high flush is?
Blah blah Op Blah blah

 No I'm the slow one here, sry.. I thought he had an Ace high nut flush that beat your flush. Ignore my post.

be very very careful playing hands like Ax suited. If you do play them, they are for flush and/or two pair value only.

The problem many people get themselves into with these kinds of hands is when you hit your top pair and then can't get rid of it ven though your kicker sucks.
