My next question would be: do you goto the casino to make friends or to make money?

No brainer, its a chop. deceptive at first glance because they both paired thier kicker but the board always plays and they both share the 7 kicker on the board.
nice pot too
How many heads at the table?, any callers pre-flop?? was this a heads up hand from the start?? I am just trying to figure out how I would have played it if it were me with the 7 kicker.
With that flop, the guy with the 7 probably should have gone all in to kill the pot odds for the guy with the 4 (maybe he did). the guy with the 4 should not have seen the turn or the river with a 4 kicker on a pair of K's with an Ace on the flop. Even more risky with the second ace on the turn.
Just my .02

It's not worth it going heads up pre flop.you don't get as much as you put in...say compared to playing against 4 people.I've had my A's busted up playing heads up plenty of times...
No, I don't go to the casinos to make frineds....
But when i'm at the casino at a table of 9 or 10 players usually only 1 person doesn't chop..so....
I don't play tournament style poker...I play the structured games..

Primo, we had 9 peeps that night. After the flop, 7 of us backed out and then the 2 went at it. Yours truly got eliminated when we were at the final 4! Sounds like you're a pretty good player... hate to go up against you!
that is a lot of loose calling 
was there any betting pre-flop, or did everyone just call the big blind?
I am assuming one of the guys with the K led out betting after the flop to get the other seven people to fold?
Sorry for trying to disect the hand so much but the scenario is interesting.
Can I come play next time?
<--not a pro but I have seen a hand or two
