New to table.

I was totally clueless as to what to do preflop.


Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

BB ($21.30)
Hero ($25)
MP ($62.30)
CO ($25.15)
Button ($30.05)
SB ($21.35)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with , .
Hero raises to $0.85, MP calls $0.85, 1 fold, Button raises to $3, SB calls $2.90, 1 fold, Hero calls $2.15, MP calls $2.15.

Flop: ($12.25) , , (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, Button bets $7, SB calls $7, Hero folds, MP folds.

Turn: ($26.25) (2 players)
SB checks, Button checks.

River: ($26.25) (2 players)
SB bets $11.35 (All-In), Button folds.

Final Pot: $14.90


Again new to table, no reads. Can I get away from this or does it play itself?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

UTG ($33.90)
MP ($36.05)
CO ($50)
Button ($83.75)
SB ($71.80)
Hero ($50)

Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
2 folds, Button raises to $1.75, 1 fold, Hero raises to $6, Button calls $3.75.

Flop: ($11.75) , , (3 players)
Hero bets $7, Button calls $7.

Turn: ($25.75) (3 players)
Hero bets $15, Button calls $15.

River: ($55.75) (3 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $55.25, Hero calls $22.50 (All-In).

Final Pot: $133.50

Results in white below:
Hero has Kh Ac (one pair, kings).
CO doesn't show.
Button has 7c 7h (three of a kind, sevens).
Outcome: Button wins $133.50.

Hand 1 fold the flop, multiway and missing is a bad combo.

Hand 2, you have TPTK, you need reads to stackoff. The default play is only to bet or call two streets, control the pot. He is in a 3 bet pot and trying to get it all in, pretty obvious he beats TP when your line is AA AK KK

 hand 1) with so many callers pre. just 4 bet pre and you are likely to scoop it right there, and call a shove.

hand 2) this is a really easy call. although i would prefer a shove. just got unlucky you ran into a set. well played though.
