I like everything except the flop 3-bet which is boardline spewing IMO.

I like the play. Button failed to cap the betting either preflop, on the flop, or on the turn, indicating that he more than likely doesn't have KK. Since you can't put him on KK (the only hand that can beat you), I think you played well on the turn and river.

Flop 3-bet has some pro's and con's. You may get Ax to fold, but at the same time you're just isolating yourself with what seems to be a 2nd best hand (with 3-5 outs). The board is pretty non-threatening draw-wise, so I think I would just go for overcalls in this situation.

The rest is fine. I think KK would have capped pre-flop, especially in position, so you're ahead or splitting this most of the time.

Looks fine.

Sad to see him show you KK, but since button did not cap preflop, on the flop, or turn, we can not worry about KK too much can we?

How many bets would you have gone on the river if it was not capped?

nh, you put bets in at the right spots and probably chopped

he has a chance to fold out 3 players that may have a lot of combined outs against him corrupting his hand. i like the 3 bet. the pot is big and we need to win it.
