2nd hand, Party 10+1 NL, I get KK in EP.
I limped, several more limpers and CO raises to 30, blinds fold, 1 caller(Antag) and I raise to 125.
All fold to Antag, who calls
Flop is T /images/graemlins/heart.gif 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Antag checks. My thought here was to win the pot, so I push. I have 20 more chips than he does.
Antag thinks for a long time, and calls all-in. Turns over K /images/graemlins/heart.gif 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
Results in white: <font color="white"> Turn & river are hearts, hearts, and I have T20 left </font>
Now, I know he made a horrible call, and I have him in my notes. I'm not so much whining about fate as I'm wondering if I played it right. Would it be better, after the flop, to just make another T100-T150 bet? Sometimes I think a push on a ragged flop is a weaker statement about the strength of your hand than a smaller, but still good-sized bet. If he had called a T125-ish bet on the flop, when the heart came on the turn I would have made the same bet and folded to a raise or check/folded on the river when the 4th heart came up. Does that sound right?
Thanks in advance.

Gar
