Preflop was standard but I was completely lost on what to do postflop. In my confusion I put on my skirt and called down. Do I fold this at any time? My guess was a flush draw or aces but... well, you'll see the results at the bottom.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls, MP1 folds, Hero raises, CO calls, Button 3-bets, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero caps, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (24 SB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif (6 players)
SB checks, BB bets, UTG raises, Hero calls, CO calls, Button 3-bets, SB calls, BB folds, UTG caps, Hero calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls.

River: (22.50 BB) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif (5 players)

Final Pot: 26.50 BB

I three-bet the flop and lead out on the turn if checked to. If the flop is capped and there is a bet and a raise to you on the turn, you can probably drop your Kings unless you are getting fantastic odds to call two bets cold to try and spike a set. If you get check-raised on the turn you'll have to play it by ear.
