Comments on all streets appreciated.

5 handed 600nl. I have been playing for about 100 hands or so with utg and CO and both appear solid, a little on the tight side, and havnt been getting out of line that I saw. UTG open limping is unusual; 80%+ of the time he'll open for a bet if he's playing. UTG and CO both have about 650 and I cover. So the hand:

Hero is BB with K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif K/images/graemlins/heart.gif

UTG calls, CO raises to 27, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Flop comes: Q/images/graemlins/club.gif J/images/graemlins/spade.gif 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif (pot = 84)

Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets 70, Hero calls 70, UTG calls 70.

Turn: 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif (pot = 294)

Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets 140 (!?), Hero folds

Perhaps I should have repoped it. Its just that i didnt have the shania at the time to do it without giving a very strong hand range away, and with the possibility of UTG doing something tricky, and them both being tight, I didnt want to be oop with a huge pot this time.

Get some money in somewhere. Reraise preflop, or check-raise the flop with a plan to get most/all of it in on a blank turn.

Given that you check-called, what were you going to do if the turn blanked?

Was the raise button broken?

You are playing this hand way too passively. Raise somewhere!!!! Just to find out how strong your opponents are. In a 6 handed game KK is an ABSOLUTE MONSTER preflop, and still is big after the flop. You have to play this hand more aggressively. You have to raise the flop the size of the pot here. Make them pay if they are on a draw. You may have taken the pot down on the flop if you did that.

Since utg was more likely to be on a draw than pfr given flop action i was going to put utg in a squeeze and lead for 200.
