KK early @ Stars Turbo

[housenuts]

I have no idea what buyin this is due to this strategy
It's either a $15+1, $25+2, or $55+5

What should I do with this scary board? I was going to lead at the turn but figured I'd have to fold if he raised. I also figured if he just flat called I'd have to check the river, and then depending on his river bet either make a crying call or fold.

After my flop bet I decided it was best to try to keep the pot small

I don't like the size of your bet on the flop. I bet at least 300 here. Aren't you basicly telling UTG+1 that you don't have AK? He showed you QQ? The turn and river is fine. If my flopbet gets called, I'm not putting more money in this pot.

no because if i flop a set or a straight i make the same bet.

I feel I could get into real trouble against you, because I would interpret that bet as weakness most of the time in 16's and 27's. I would most likely try to take this away from you on the river. Which would probably be good here, but disastrous if you had the straight or a set.

I think I make it a little more to go pre-flop, too, and definitely make a little larger continuation bet if played your way.

I'd be tempted to bet the river after villain's turn check, but I'm not sure that's not stupid without a better idea of the level I'm playing at.
