    Something tells me MP3 or CO has a better hand. Any K or AQ will beat you. With 3 plrs and a flush & straight draw your $2 bet on the flop seems weak. You needed to bet $8 there IMO (with a $5 pot).

    You slowed it down when the second K fell. I would have checked the river and folded to the big bet.

    Although you may be beaten by a higher boat on this occasion you might well not be and the number of times other players get married to trips/2 pair/flushes/straights dictates that you probably need to push in this position every time, unless you have a very strong read that you're beat.
    "[This theory] is only useful for helping to calculate your luck odds. If you have a good read that you have a numerical advantage against your opponent, that your hand is "luckier"..."

    Hands which beat you are:

    KK, TT, JJ, KJ - not likely since no PFR
    K3 - not likely since you have 2 of the 3's
    KT

    Thats maybe 3 likely hands which beat you, I say push.

    Also he cant put you on 33 so he has probably underestimated what he's raising against, leading him to overvalue his hand.

    I would just call. They dont re-raise with nothing. And if they do call they will most likely have better hands. Like KJ which IMO is the most likely option.

    I made a crying call:

    g0tch1pz calls [$25].
    jaysmooth008 shows [ 4s, Ks ] three of a kind, kings.
    adamk78 doesn't show [ Jd, Tc ] two pairs, kings and jacks.
    g0tch1pz shows [ 3h, 3c ] a full house, Threes full of kings.
    g0tch1pz wins $113.50 from the main pot with a full house, Threes full of kings.

    I would have check-raised or bet on the turn. One of your opponents probably has three kings and will be willing to call or raise you. Check-calling is weak and doesn't allow you to maximize value in the hand.

    IF you don't push, you need to at least raise that river. This is HEAVEN to you with your boat. Lots of people are going to get married to their kings and what not and will STILL call a raise here, rather than lay it down. THis is NOT a case of "the only hand that calls you owns you." Hands that you beat will still call.

    Definitely should have raised.

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    Bet more on the flop, check-raise the turn, reraise the river.
