Posted this in the Micro-limit forum, but got the suggestion to post here instead.

I have realized that I don't have a clue how to play No Limit ring games. What is a good way to play a hand such as this?

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.01 BB (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB ($4.32)
UTG ($1.78)
UTG+1 ($3.26)
MP1 ($8.14)
Hero ($4.20)
CO ($3.28)
Button ($4.52)
SB ($3.09)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif. SB posts a blind of $0.01.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises to $0.04</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $0.1</font>, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to $0.16</font>, SB (poster) folds, BB folds, UTG calls $0.12, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $0.6</font>, Button calls $0.44, UTG calls $0.44.

Flop: ($1.83) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets $1.2</font>, Button calls $1.20, UTG calls $1.18 (all-in).

Turn: ($5.41) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">(All-In) bets $2.4</font>, Button calls $2.40.

River: ($10.21) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>

Final Pot: $10.21
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: $10.21, between UTG, Hero and Button.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by Button ($10.21).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG shows 8s Ts (one pair, eights).
Hero shows Kc Ks (one pair, kings).
Button shows Ad 4d (straight, five high).
Outcome: Button wins $10.21. </font>

Did I bet too much before the turn so that I didn't have enough left to bet there, thus giving Button pot odds to call? Or should I bet more earlier to try to win the hand right there?

With KK I feel safe going all-in preflop.

That board is great for your hand--I'd go all-in there if not preflop.
