Could I have spotted 2 pair here and gotten away from this hand? Villain is 27/6 over 244 hands.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.04 BB (10 handed) - Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG+1 ($6.42)
UTG+2 ($14.97)
Hero (MP1) ($8.49)
villain (MP2) ($6.12)
MP3 ($3.74)
CO ($5.03)
Button ($1.60)
SB ($5.06)
BB ($5.45)
UTG ($3.02)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K, K
2 folds, BB calls $0.04, 2 folds, villain calls $0.04, Hero raises $0.24, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls $0.22, SB calls $0.20, BB calls $0.20, villain calls $0.20

Flop: ($1.20) 7, J, 10 (5 players)
UTG+2 checks, SB checks, BB checks, villain bets $0.80, Hero raises to $8.25 (All-In), 3 folds, villain calls $5.08 (All-In)

Turn: ($12.96) 4 (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($12.96) 5 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $12.96

Results in white below:
Hero had K, K (one pair, Kings).
villain had J, 10 (two pair, Jacks and tens).
Outcome: villain won $12.32

soooo many hands

just call flop again, a recurring problem seems to be you feel like you need to raise with marginal hands when in reality raising is dricvign away a lot of their range that you beat.

wait, wat?

you need to think about ranges, i.e. what opponent is likely to have, and what part of that range will call large bets compared to calling smaller. Betting this large will always result in -ev simply because you are losing huge chunks of ev by making people fold hands that might have called smaller (like AJ) and always losing huge when people have something like a set or two pair. Poker isnt really about what you have, its about what you have relative to what your opponent has relative to the size of the pot. I might raise this flop depending on the villain, but im NEVER raising all in. Dont be scared to get "sucked out" on and dont be scared of having villains fold when you have the stone cold nuts. Think about what they have, and what they might do with that kind of holding when u make a bet of x

I was on tilt in this hand. I was thinking "I have pocket kings and I'm getting all in". I wasn't thinking about the villains range here.
