After a limper, you should raise more pre-flop. $325 should do the trick. Otherwise, you are too likely to invite other people in.

Betting out three-handed is kind of questionable when a rainbow Ace flop falls. Maybe it's worth taking a shot, but I like just trying to get to showdown as cheaply as possible (way ahead/way behind).

I don't like the turn and river bets for the same reason, but hey, it worked out OK, so there you go.

I actually was thinking the same thing when playing the hand. I never play KK like that but for some really stupid reason, after the flop bet, I was convinced the guy could be pushed off on the river if I didn't get raised on the turn.

If he has an A he is not going anywhere. If he has a lower pp you want a river call.

Yeah, I either got away with one or didn't get as many chips as I should have. Pretty stupid play in retrospect I suppose.
