Live game, 16ish person sng style tournament.
The chip stacks are unknown for the most part...this is the fifth hand and no real big pots have been won yet.

Villain is flaky to say the least, has been playing for a good year now but doesnt understand odds ect. Will often min bet or min raise just to see what people will do.

blinds 10/20
SB villain (1600)
BB uknown1 (1500ish)
ep1 (1400)
ep2(1400)
raisylady(1600)
unknown (1500)
Button: hero (1500)

dealt to hero (Ad6d)
ep1 and ep2 limp, raisylady raises to 60, unknown2 folds, I call, villain calls, unknown 1 folds, ep1 calls and ep2 calls.

flop is Kd9c10d pot is 320
everyone checks, I bet 200, villian calls, everyone else folds.

turn is 9d, pot is 720
villian checks, I bet 300, villian raises to 600, I push all in for 600ish more. Villian mulls it over for 2 minutes then calls after getting confirmation that a full house beats a flush. He shows K9o, and knocks me out.

Kind of a rant i suppose, but is there anyway I should have forseen this? When he raised me on the turn I didnt even really think about it, I just pushed thinking the nine couldnt help him since he check called. Would you have put him on two pair on the flop here?

I guess what im really saying...is should i have played this differently. Or not played it at all? lol. Side note, the initial raiser has a pretty wide range.

Fold preflop. It's only the fifth hand and the blinds are super low, so you should have no problem letting go of this hand, esp after the raise.

As played though, I'm going broke as well. The fact that your read was...

means that he could be doing this with a variety of holdings. The only thing that beats you is a FH, and there are plenty of 9s and lower flushes that'll felt this board too.

Fold, check, bet, by this point call or fold are pretty much equal I'd say.

Straight flush possibility also.

Just playing to improve.
