I think I played this KK well... but perhaps a bit too strong. Input?

What do you think about the turn 3-bet? betting on the river?

It's fine.

I agree, you played it fine. Unforunately it is a very coordinated board but you did have outs with a paired board on the river. While a few more blanks on the board would have made this situation a lot easier for you, you have a set of kings, bet away.

I hate these hands, but it seems likely that BB has two pair, or a set of nines. With a very strong hand that may well be best and 10 outs to the nuts I think you have to push this. What's your plan if he raises your river bet?

If he raised my river bit I probably would have called. I put him on lower trips, but there is also the chance of AT, and a raise might strongly hint at that.
