Online limit HE tourney. 101 entrants, down to 5 players, all in the money. Payout structure is unusually flat (top 10 pay, only 20% for 1st place).
Limit is 1500/3000 and about to increase during the next few hands, T101000 in play, I'm the shortest stack and have T6200 left after posting the BB. Another short stack (not in the hand) has about T9000, the others have all over T20000.
Play is pretty conservative and I've been able to steal my share of pots.
Chip leader UTG limps, SB completes and I check with K8o in the BB. Flop comes A42 rainbow. All check. Turn brings another deuce, SB checks to me. I bet my king high, hoping to take it down. UTG calls, SB folds. River is a queen, no flush possible. What is my play (and how do you rate my turn bet)?
