PokerStars - €0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP: 182.5 BB
CO: 136 BB
Hero (BTN): 101.5 BB
SB: 100 BB
BB: 194 BB
UTG: 100 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♠ J♠

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (7.5 BB, 2 players) 6♥ K♦ 4♦
UTG bets 4.5 BB, Hero calls 4.5 BB

Turn: (16.5 BB, 2 players) 6♣
UTG bets 9.5 BB, Hero calls 9.5 BB

River: (35.5 BB, 2 players) T♥
UTG bets 17 BB, Hero calls 17 BB

UTG shows K♥ A♦ (Two Pair, Kings and Sixes)
(Pre 70%, Flop 88%, Turn 90%)
Hero mucks K♠ J♠ (Two Pair, Kings and Sixes)
(Pre 30%, Flop 12%, Turn 10%)
UTG wins 65.5 BB

how you conclude someone's has better kicker? just because he raise?

Had the quite same issue on this hand:

PokerStars - €0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 40 BB
UTG: 127 BB
MP: 110.5 BB
CO: 78.5 BB
BTN: 32.5 BB
Hero (SB): 100 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has T♣ A♦

UTG raises to 3.5 BB, fold, fold, BTN calls 3.5 BB, Hero calls 3 BB, fold

Flop: (11.5 BB, 3 players) 6♣ A♥ J♣
Hero bets 5.5 BB, fold, BTN raises to 29 BB and is all-in, fold

BTN wins 21 BB

1st hand. Lets see UTG raise: If we believe he have K, he could have AK, KQ, KQ and KT. So you are only spliting with KJ and losing the rest. This is hand where you beat only missed flush draw and QQ or JJ.

2nd hand you need to call that, cause you are betting a lot of hands here. But i would never donk this.

Cause you dont represent anything. He can shove so wide here, and you are going to be scared all the time. He is gonna shove any FD, any A, two pairs. If you want to donk, you need to call all in.
