UTG in this hand like dot raise garbage PF, but didnt play aggresively at all post flop. No read on the button at the time

I think you played this fine. Your play was very deceptive and you earned the maximum. I would have thrown in a field check/raise on the flop or turn and won less money.

this works but i probably would have put a checkraise in on the flop. i think a king is folding to a flop checkraise very rarely since really no one believes you have it. when i get checkraised on the flop and theres a pair on the board i rarely believe it. this might be a long shot though, and your line would probably be better against TT-QQ. looks like a K to me though.

you have to checkraise at least on one street and get two bets from everyone.

I think it's pretty easy to read. I would bet the flop. Bet looks weaker than C/C, like maybe you're defining a hand like TT. I bet, hope to get raised, then make a play on the turn, or river. Maybe wait till' the river so both players are pot committed to call a raise.

Is it possible that the button would bet on the turn and you could check/raise and trap UTG?

There are way too many hands button will check behind on the turn especially after getting 2 callers on the flop, also if he does bet, I'm not sure I like my hand enough to c/r.
