I wouldn’t play the hand differently. I expect you get called with worse hands as well on the turn. Too bad he had a set of KK this time.

Cheers,

I am raising a little more on the flop, but who cares you manage to put a lot of money when favorite, its just luck.

When you open from MP and this guy 3bets and calls yout 4bet I would say his range is most likely QQ,AK but we can include some combos of JJ and KK too.
I'm not sure if I can agree with the bet sizes. Your bets are huge in a 4bet pot. Those target QQ or possible KK pretty well but some weaker pairs like JJ and FDs (AdKd) will fold. You really don't need that much protection and I would like to keep villains range wider. When you bomb flop and turn like this, you make sure villain calls you only with KK.
KK shouldn't be in his range but a good player wouldn't call your turn bet with anything else. When you 4bet from this position and bet flop so big, it tells villain that you have KK+, so he would be behind even with AK.

That's a boomer, no analyze needed.

As mentioned there is not much analysis to make.
My only suggestion is, as mentioned by La55i, is to bet less on flop and turn, to get call from weaker hands

Here's a brilliant tip, originally from Mike Caro: When the Money goes in, root for the opponent to win!!!

If you lose, you are then happy. If you happen to win (which will be most of the time when you play well), you'll be sorry. But - you get the pot as a consolation prize.:f_biggrin:

I agree that the hand is ok and is a bad luck.
