Did I do right or should I have folded post flop

MrLinuxSir

Hand number = 273447695

For some reason I had the other guy on a potential K J (I was right about the J).

Was I right to carry on post flop and also call the all-in at the end?

Still new to poker but I'm getting there. All comments greatfully recieved.

With K-4 I just about make the call pre when getting odds of 7/1 as here. However, I'm only interested in flopping trips (in which case I have a good kicker) or two pair (in which case I figure to win a decent pot off any bigger kings.) 

As such, I'm folding on the flop (to the raise even though it's a min-raise). With the kicker being a 4 you have, really, 2nd pair here (as the only kings you beat are k2 and k3 and these shouldn't be in anyway) I like the bet out with these kind of hands as you get the information you need and so I fold to the raise (incorrectly in this case but that's what the note facility is for.) The other option is to request more information by putting a proper raise in, however I think this is expensive considering you already have information.

Also, if you thought he had K-J it should be clear that it's the easiest fold your ever going to make.

fold pre, call his raise on flop, i'd c/f turn. and if you are going to lead this river you should be bet/folding

Thanks for the insight chaps.

I knew I should have really folder pre-river, maybe post flop but I did have 'that feeling' that he was playing the J. There was a little voice reminding me that he might have K J but my gut feeling over-ruled my head, be that a good thing or a bad thing.

On the whole, I think I played this hand badly but got paid off for it.
