a KK river blocking bet.

So one of the things I've been thinking about lately is when to use blocking bets. This is one move that I have never really used, but I think it's definitely worth studying and using when appropriate. Here's the hand. It's from a PP 20+2.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t635)
MP3 (t1580)
CO (t740)
Button (t1020)
SB (t575)
BB (t740)
UTG (t1155)
Hero (t705)
MP1 (t850)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, MP1 calls t90, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls t90, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t315) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP1 checks, Button checks.

Turn: (t315) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t90</font>, Button folds, Hero calls t90.

River: (t495) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, MP1 calls t100.

Final Pot: t695

This is a move that I haven't really used much before, so thoughts on all streets, but especially the river, are appreciated.
