Empire 1/2.... Only been at table about 20 minutes or so.

I'm UTG+2 with A /images/graemlins/spade.gif A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

UTG folds, UTG+1 bets, I raise, folds to button, who calls, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 calls.

FLOP: K /images/graemlins/club.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3 /images/graemlins/club.gif

SB bets, UTG+1 calls, I raise (gotta find out where I'm at, right?), button calls, SB re-raises me, UTG+1 folds, I call, as does button. I'm thinking SB re-raised with 2 clubs, cause I can't fathom calling a PF raise with a 3 in your hand (unless you had pocket 3's... it DID enter my mind).

TURN: J /images/graemlins/heart.gif

SB checked. I'm thinking maybe he DOES have a 3 and is waiting for a check raise, so I check, as does button.

RIVER: 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

SB checks, I bet, all call.... I took it down A's & 3's.

Once he checked, I knew he had 2 clubs in his hand, afterall, you wouldn't slowplay the turn AND river if you had quads, right?

Button had K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
SB had A /images/graemlins/club.gif 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif

Should I have capped the flop, or did I play this right?

Don't think about that. Think about getting more money in the pot with the probable best hand.

Typically when someone puts in the last raise on the flop they won't go for a checkraise. I would think it's way more likely he has a club draw at this point than a 3.

I would lean towards capping the flop although waiting and raising the turn is an option (if no club comes). I would bet the turn in your situation though.
