Hero flopped top two pair (Kings and Jacks) on a K♣J♠T♦ board, raised UTG's donk bet, then called off the remaining stack when UTG shoved. The raise and call are correct with this hand strength at 24 BB effective — the main question is whether the connected board texture warranted more caution, but at this stack depth, getting away from top two pair isn't realistic.
Street-by-Street Analysis
Preflop (7/10)
KJo in the CO with 24 BB is a fine iso-raise over a UTG limp — you're ahead of a limping range and can take down the pot with antes. The 2.5x sizing is standard.
Flop (7/10)
Top two pair on K♣J♠T♦ is a strong hand, but this board is extremely connected — AQ already has the nut straight, and UTG's limp-call range includes AQ, QT, Q9s. Your raise to 14,000 over UTG's 6,000 donk bet is reasonable for value and protection. When UTG shoves for the remaining ~34,000 into a pot that's already large relative to your stack, you're getting excellent odds and must call. Against a made straight (like the AQ/AJ villain actually had) you're in rough shape, but against overpairs, top pair, and combo draws you're a significant favorite. At 24 BB effective, folding top two pair here would be a massive error.
Hindsight: UTG held A♥J♣, which flopped the nut straight (A-K-Q-J-T with the board providing K-Q-T... actually Broadway via A+KJT needing Q — UTG had AJ and the board was KJT, giving a straight with AKJ10 needing Q). Correction: A♥J♣ on K♣J♠T♦ gives a gutshot to Broadway (needs Q), not a made straight. The straight completed on a later street. Regardless, getting stacks in with top two pair at this depth was correct.
