Default Three Cards That Match 5/10 NL

I have basically just started this session. I have a suspicion that the villain is bad, but I can't remember why I think that and haven't really seen him get out of line yet. It could be that I have notes on him at another computer I've been playing on. Anyway, I got very excited because I had 3 of a kind on the flop and top kicker. Also, I float a lot of flops, but on the turn, what kind of hands do I beat? How else should I play this hand?

Online 10 handed

MP2 raises to 45 (730), I (cover) call on the button with AK (suits irrelevant). I definitely mix up calling and reraising preflop with AK. Heads up to the flop.

Flop: K K 4 rainbow
Pot: 105

MP2 bets 125 (yeah, that was weird), I call.

Turn: Q
Pot: 365

MP2 checks, I bet 300, he pushes for 220 more, I scratch my head about how I played this hand and call.

Comments appreciated. I guess my main question is between betting and checking the turn.

This seems incredibly standard and you should be thrilled getting your money in.

If he had KQ then Unlucky....

You should have re-raised flop as its unlikely 44 raised PF....

I call this all day...

Raising flop would have been very bad.

I like to get my money in when I'm ahead....

K4 & 44 are the only hands that are beating us....Until the Q lands..

then its KQ/QQ/44 that are beating us...

I would guess that villain had QQ and sucked out on turn...if thats the case then there is no escape unless a blank turn hits...

An overbet of the pot on the flop leads me to believe villain doesn't have a K, but AA or QQ, possibly the other AK...or even KQ...

However, even being really bad I can't imagine him raising KQ this much preflop....this means that its a big hand - AA/AK/QQ.... AA doesn't push turn IMO...Especially not check push...he led the flop and then check-raised turn AI...

What hands do that unless villain is a complete fruitcake !

Hence, raising the flop sucks, unless you guys have history.

Are you seriously this worried about 3 outers?
