Re: 2/4 B&M - I don\'t raise a single time with KK; standard?
[ QUOTE ]
Could I have led the turn hoping a raise by UTG would then make it unprofitable for pocket pairs to call at this point (but an UTG raise would definitely mean I'm still behind, so...)?

Why on Earth would you want pocket pairs to fold? For that matter, why would you want anyone to fold, unless it just so happened that UTG decided to get kooky and raise with QQ, which caused the others to fold aces (can't see either of those things happening).
As soon as that ace flops with a field that large, you're drawing. The pot is huge enough that you can draw profitably, assuming you aren't up against AA, so you draw. But since we're going on the assumption that if we spike a K we're going to win, and there are no draws possible which include a K, well...there's really no reason to try to fold out anyone.
There's also no way that I overcall that river, no matter what the pot odds. You're going to be good never with all that action & UTG leading into the field on every street. Your draw missed, so into the muck it goes.
