Re: KK hand

was puzzled by villain checking behind on the flop and betting aggressively on the turn and river. Maybe I should have folded.

A player might check behind on the flop with an ace here, wondering if you are slowplaying a set. Then, when you check the turn, he bets his ace because he thinks you don't have one. When you just call, he decides to bet the river also. So, there is a decent chance he has an ace here.
This spot pretty much sucks. If I decide I'm going to play the hand, I would play it as you did. If you are behind, he is calling any bets, so at least this way you get money in if you're ahead. Sometimes he will hit his 2-5 outer, but I think in general this play will get you the most chips in the long run.
