Steal attempt, then what?

[spydog]

Should I be betting the flop or turn?

How about the river raise? Is this standard?

The SB's check after 3-betting preflop is pretty suspicious, especially on a flop like this one, and usually indicates strength rather than weakness. If you had flopped something like top pair, there would be a valid question as to the best course of action, but with king high ... a bet is throwing money against all but the strangest-playing opponents. There isn't much of a decision on the river - you have to raise.

I played in this hand tonight and am perfectly happy with how I played it. I know a few chip slingers would advocate chip slinging at some point in this hand but I believe it really comes down to how out of line you've gotten in the prior 20 minutes. My line should make you guess where I stood on this table /images/graemlins/grin.gif

In summary, I think you played your hand well. Just because you showed the most aggression PF doesn't mean you have to continue to press onward post flop if you miss the flop. Otherwise, I agree with what Nate has to say about this hand of yours.
