From a 180 SnG on Stars. I've opened very few pots so far, showing down only KK and AA. I (correctly) called a large all-in over my continuation bet on an 89J flop when I had KK, the AA was all-in pre-flop. The only other pot I played so far I won without a showdown out of the the BB. No reads on Villain.

Final Pot: t2200
His line here really confused me. I didn't think he would lead out a K on the flop, so I thought either a set, a J, or QT was most likely. My raise was mostly to find out where I stand and put me in control on the turn- I was planning on folding to a push.
The A on the turn is a mixed bag. I'm now ahead of KJ, but I don't think that's among his more likely holdings. If he had QT or a set, then this is actually a trap card for me. I check behind to keep the pot small.
The river K pretty much seals it for me, I think- hard to see what I'm ahead of at this point. I don't like folding when I can't put Villain on a particular hand, but here I think I'm way behind his range. What do you put him on? What do you think of my line?
