Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, MP2 calls.

 Standard PFR, nothing to see here.

Flop: (8.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, MP2 bets, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG calls.

 I feel like I have a strong hold on this hand with that third King. MP2 bets into me and I thought about a raise, but I decided to just call figuring that if I raised MP2 would just call me down. If I let him bet into me on the turn, I could raise and get another BB out of him instead of half a BB. Was I thinking correctly or did I make a mistake? 

Turn: (5.75 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG checks, MP2 bets, Hero raises, UTG folds, MP2 calls.

 He bets into me just as I hoped and I drop the hammer. A re-raise by MP2 would have been golden for me, but sadly he just calls. 

River: (9.75 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls.

 Little iffy river card bringing the 3-flush on the board, but since he checked to me I'm pretty sure that I have to bet. If he happened to check/raise the river I think that I'd have just called it, but I'm not sure. Thoughts? 

Final Pot: 11.75 BB
Main Pot: 11.75 BB, between Hero and MP2.

standard. its great when your only big decision is whether to the raise the flop or the turn. Good thinking play.
