Top and bottom pair- K2o

[Jakesta]

I'm mainly concerned about the turn action: Should I have 3bet here?

I am ahead of 95 and 92, but behind a slowplayer set, or K9/K5.

Who likes the line? I don't think I can find a river fold here with two pair, so I called the fish down. I sometimes worry that I am missing out on bets by playing hands like this too passively.

Bingo.

[Jakesta]

So you 3bet and call down if capped?

[Bodhi]

Yes. I don't think the villain made kings-up.

I don't typically 3bet here. I want to know what other people think. With top two, though, I will auto-3bet.

I 3-bet. That raise does not seem to indicate Kings up any more than it does a suited K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, so why not make the other palyers in the pot contribute?

I think it's close on if you get value out of it (I'd argue there's a bit of value), but it also puts some pressure on the other two players would could be drawing live. So I'd 3-bet it.

edit: Maybe there's more value there than at first glance. villain could be betting his four-flush, and his relative position makes me think he's more likely to be waiting to raise a good TP hand. 3-bet that mofo.

My thinking in a hand like this is that the villian is fairly likely to be on some kind of draw. Raising the turn gives him the chance to check behind on the river if he misses. However, I think that might be giving your opponents too much credit. I might bet call the turn and then bet out on the river blank.
