    Default KK with flush on flop

    Once again, I got too excited with a high pocket pair. And I got even more excited when I hit trips. What should I have done?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) converter

    MP1 ($2.01)
    MP2 ($2.88)
    MP3 ($0.61)
    CO ($3.24)
    Button ($2.09)
    SB ($3.30)
    Hero ($1.64)
    UTG ($4.62)
    UTG+1 ($12.97)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, K.
    UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.02, MP2 calls $0.02, 2 folds, Button calls $0.02, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.08, UTG calls $0.06, MP1 calls $0.06, MP2 folds, Button calls $0.06.

    Flop: ($0.35) 6, T, 4 (4 players)
    Hero bets $0.2, UTG calls $0.20, MP1 folds, Button calls $0.20.

    Turn: ($0.95) K (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.58, UTG folds, Button raises to $1.81, Hero calls $0.78 (All-In).

    River: ($4.12) A (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $4.12

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Kc Ks (three of a kind, kings).
    Button has Js Qs (flush, queen high).
    Outcome: Button wins $4.12.

    Go all-in on the turn and hope somebody with top pair calls.

    You have a very good hand on the turn with 9 outs to the king high flush, 9 outs to a boat and 1 out to quads, not often do you have these kinds of odds. I think you played it fine. If you had red kings it would be a diferent story. A big bet on the turn is necessary and when he reraises you all-in, calling is your only choice. You could have gone all-in in the first place, as johnny suggested, but I think this play was fine too.
