I feel sick today . I have been playing NL only like 5 months so far and had my biggest loss (on a single hand). I have had 5-6 players comment saying that there was nothing I could do. I have had 1 player (my mentor, who is an awesome player) say that there is no way he stacks off on that flop.

I did play it horribly but just wanted to make sure. What say you FTR.

Game: 300$ NL (2-5 blinds)

Villain is decent, has been catching numerous flops and has a huge stack (about 2000$). Hero has 700$ behind.

Hero is in BB with KK (suit not important in this hand). Villain is MP1

Preflop: UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, Villain raises to 15, CO calls 15, Hero raises to 75, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Villain reraises to 175,
Hero calls.

Hero thinking: Does he has AA here. should i go all in. I cant possibly go all in because he only calls with AA there..f*** it. I call...

Flop: 4c-7d-10s
Hero thinks...awesome flop....get it in...
Hero checks, Villain bets 125, Hero reraises all in, Villain insta calls.


Horrible play by me.

5-6 other players comments:
Nothing you can do here. one of them hands you go broke with...blah blah

My Mentor:
When you raised big to 75 and he reraises you to 175, ONLY 1 HAND is going to do that. Now you can call the 100 more to try to hit your set or check fold the flop. You CANNOT stack off given that kinda information in preflop. Bells should be ringing in your head when your 75$ reraise gets reraised to a 100$ more.

What would most of you have done ? I feel so sick and disgusted at my immature play.[/b]
