Maybe I should bet more on the flop and turn, but I've been raising a lot PF and betting slightly more than half the pot when I miss. I wanted to bet it the same way here.

Seat 6 - HERO $132.45 in chips
Seat 7 - BUTTON $85.12 in chips
*** BLIND [dealer 7] ***
SB - Post small blind $0.25
BB - Post big blind $0.50
HERO - Pocket [Kd,Kh]
UTG - Folds
MP - Calls $0.50
HERO (CO) - Raises $0.50 to $2
BUTTON - Calls $2
3 Folds
*** FLOP [2h,5c,4s] ***
HERO - Bets $3
BUTTON - Calls $3
*** TURN [2h,5c,4s,Ks] ***
HERO - Bets $6
BUTTON - Calls $6
*** RIVER [2h,5c,4s,Ks,6d] ***
HERO - ?

my guess is you're set over set at this point, or he just missed his gutshot/flush draw. the only hand you're really afraid of is 3s i think. How aggressive is this guy? If he just missed with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif or something like that, will he bet at you if you check? My default play here is probably 1/2 pot bet.

you are almost certainly ahead here. the only likely cold-calling hands for villain are 33 and A3s. it's much more likely that villain has a set or 2 pair. i would make a moderate/small bet and call a raise.
