I re-raise the flop and expect to get all in vs K9-KQ. Turn and Riv are terrible cards so once they roll off check/calling is ok in lvl 1. I still fire the turn though for 240.

Your hand is very strong, but also very vulnerable.
Try to get it in on the flop.

re-raise the flop, bet the turn. Check-calling the turn and river isn't that bad though.
