Wondering if anybody would have done differently. Calling the turn felt weak:

Looks fine. I can't see why you'd bet the turn or river--you sure as hell don't want to get raised on either street, and you pretty much want to see a showdown here.

Before looking at the results (don't include them next time!), if I had to guess a hand I'd have said AK.

What is the point of the flop 3 bet?

Given the range of hands a player would coldcall preflop and raise a KK3 rainbow flop with, I figure I'm beating most of them with KJ. I mean, I know that we all know the results of this hand, but you've got TP with a pretty good kicker. Barring unconventional play (ie, the actual results), he probably doesn't have AK, KQ, or better just because he raised the flop.

Once it gets capped, we're probably screwed, but we didn't know that until after the decision of whether to 3-bet the flop or not.

I have top pair and he is unlikely to have me outkicked, or have two pair or a set. I'd have capped it if it were up to me and not him.
