Should I have folded anywhere in this hand? And what about the river, should I cap it?

UTG+1 is either very aggressive with a PP or a very straightforward player with a T. He raises a bet into the PF raiser and PF 3-bettor - that's a strong play. Any read on this player?

I would just call the first bet on the river.

I could be wrong here, but I would cap the river. With tens over kings, the only hands you are behind are quad tens, pocket kings, and pocket aces. I guess if this player has been extremely tight I might slow down here, but without a solid read I would probably go ahead and cap.

Sorry no reads, he was quite new to the table.

Edit: not quite new, this was his very first hand.

I agree, 6 players saw that flop, I dont normally beleive in the 4th card being out there when the board trips up, but there's 10 cards you have to dodge. There's a 22% chance the last T is there. The pot's already huge, I say just show it down.

I think, considering the strength the villain showed on the flop and river, capping the river would be completely reckless.

The first raise on the river isn't bad, it would help to have a read on the player. A really aggressive player may play another pocket pair this way and just bet the river hoping the Hero doesn't have AK or may fold a higher PP, but once he 3-bets raising again is not right. Also, by just calling you will hopefully get a call from the other player still in it.

To bad I didn't have a read on UTG+1 before this hand he obviously was a maniac.

UTG has 5c 5s (full house, tens full of fives).
UTG+1 has 3c Qd (three of a kind, tens).
Hero has Ks As (full house, tens full of kings).
Outcome: Hero wins 27.75 BB.
