Beat in a live game and new here
Hello all. This is my first post on a poker forum and I was wondering what others thought of this hand I was playing at a live game at a casino that I frequent around town.
I had been in the game about two hours at this point and had been playing pretty tight. This was a $1-$2 NL 9 handed table. I was in middle position and had raised it up to $15 pre-flop with As Js. I had two callers and here came the flop. Kc 5s 7s. I check and a bet of $20 followed by a call. I decide to raise all in for $180 more to make it a $200 pot. One caller to the left of me for all of his chips which were about $120 and a fold. We flip our cards over and he shows me a Kd 2d. I was pretty surprised none the less that a pre-flop raise was called with such a marginal hand. What are your thougths? By the way, I lost the hand. A 10 came on the turn to give me a total of 16 outs but none came my way. And oh yah, I was down to $60 in chips but worked my way back up to a profit of $400 that night. So let e know guys!
Edit: Just to let you know, he snap called me also. Instantaneous.

Yeah villian's preflop play was God awful, but most players at live 1/2 have no idea what a raise means. they go to town with TP so often that you really have to improve your hand or have a better hand to ship here.
My fav thing about 1/2 is that they think TP is the nuts. GL.
btw, never play w $60 in front of you.
His call pre was loose, but I've saw worse. People like hands like this, suited cards with 1 being the K or A so they can draw to big flushes. They generally get into trouble though as the hands are easily dominated if they do hit top pair instead of the flush.
Anyway, I lead flop represent that you aren't affraid of the top pair. K2 will probably call as it would be really hard to raise there (if they do, you can either fold or jam showing strength). If they only call, you can re-evaluate on the turn if you want to barrel down.
I bet the other player had like A7 or something, maybe a flush draw counter-fitting at least one or two of your outs.
what's your first language?
