Results below:

Spoiler

Hero had K, K (two pair, Kings and Queens).
Outcome: Hero won t2,275

UTG - VPIP: 50, PFR: 25, 3B: 13, AF: 1.3, Hands: 24
MP2 - VPIP: 40, PFR: 0, 3B: 0, AF: 1.0, Hands: 15
MP3 - VPIP: 43, PFR: 4, 3B: 5, AF: 1.8, Hands: 724
CO - VPIP: 61, PFR: 4, 3B: 0, AF: 2.3, Hands: 23

How could this have been played better?

My thoughts:

Preflop: Flat as I don't want to discourage action behind by 3B'ing UTG raise

Flop: Raising UTG min bet sizing is small on this relatively dry board. Maybe raise to 350 for value from flush draws, queens and smaller PP's?

Turn: Blank on the turn so again betting for value, bet sizing with intention of getting it in on the river

River: Hating any heart or Q on the river. Still shove as planned on turn?

Hi Brade88!
I prefer raising here, because fishes will stil call you and you are more than happy to build pot PF or go broke.
As played, I wouldn't do much diferent. Maybe biger raise on turn (555).

Hey.

Ye 3B preflop I think is ok. I would definately 3B JJ/QQ. But 3B'ing UTG raise from UTG+1 looks mega strong, and I think everyone behind folds. However if I do 3B here I may induce a 4B shove from UTG. Don't know which line has more value?

Raise preflop so that you don't get scenarios like the one in the hand. These are limits with a lot of flat happy players, especially with these effective stack sizes. You don't want multiway action with our monster pair. I like raising the flop against FD, Qx maybe some other draws. Just shove turn with less than 1 ps bet left.
