What was my correct move here? I'm a bit on tilt after it and it's killing me!

Chucky the tree

Fold the turn.

I'm not an expert, but here goes-

Pre Flop
KQs is quite a marginal hand. You have position here, but that on it's own isn't enough reason to call the raise. Was the villain particularly loose? I'd prefer a re-raise or a fold.

Flop
Again, I think your call is too passive, but with 2 people left perhaps it is better to not inflate the pot. Marginal, but I think a re-raise or fold is better.

Turn
Having simply called the flop, you can get away relatively cheaply. Fold. The flat call is very weak, you are getting 6:1 pot odds on calling the re-raise but you have to be worried about someone else having AsXs. I'd try to avoid having to make these calls.

I raise and go broke on that flop. I don't know what you were thinking on the turn.

While Its true that against a bet and a call it's ok to cold call with a draw but you have a huge drawing hand here with possibly 18 live outs. You should raise and call a push here for so many reasons. I would make it 2600 to go on the flop. If I get called I can always take a free card on the turn.

Pre-Flop: call is ok, I prefer a reraise with position.

Flop: Again call is not awful, but I prefer to make it 2200 or so here.

Turn: fold for the first 2050 bet.

raising is probably better on the flop, but i don't have a problem with the call.

fold the turn anyway.
