Pocket Kings on Ace high flop

Sizing pre-flop is fine against someone that doesn't like to fold on 3bets so far.
A Cbet for thin value and protection isn't to bad idea, but the turn is really bad and is folding to a decent bet fine.

Preflop sizing seems great, if they are completely inelastic, bump it up even higher, but what you did seems to be reasonable.

Without the K♥: I think cbetting small here is better as we want to protect our hand. Also if they are not folding to cbets that much, then we can bet more for thin value. They are probably calling mid to high pocket pairs. Obviously they will call all their Ax as well so a small sizing is good. I would go no bigger than 1/3 pot.

As played OTT, I think as we checked the flop, we should probably call against one bet. Anything above this sizing is proabbaly a fold however, so it's probably not a big deal if we fold, seems to be close. If villain had checked, I would be going for the delayed cbet, again quite small to protect against 1 heart combos and not losing too much to any Ax that villain is playing passively.

If we had K♥:, can check the flop as we don't need to protect our hand, call the turn and fold river unimproved.

If check / raise turn 45 to rep flush can take down pot, no?

Can also try 40 to save chips in case villain has nuts altough. Min raise won't make it because you'll get floated.

Villain is a short stack, so If I would raised to 45BB the pot would be around 90 and he would sit there with 45. Would you even fold hand in this situatuion?

I think the raise would be a good idea if I would hold K♥: so I would have some equity against hands, sets and flushes.
However in this case I would push all-in. It only cost 15BB more, and it would be a harder decision for him to make a decision over his whole stack.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts and answering all of my questions!!
