That depends on the villain we are dealing with if I bet the turn again, because the 3 is a blank and I doubt most players will fold if you bet again. River is standard.

I would just call pre. As played:

Villain calls a 3bet after opening from UTG. I expect he connects with that K well and he also should have decent amount of pocket pairs. So I don't think he will be folding that much vs our cbet. I might just check behind.
But okay, you have a decent amount of barreling cards and villain could be folding too much and you are in position and so on. I think cbet is ok. Then when you improve to a flush draw I think you could continue barreling with some frequency but you don't have to do that every time.

Overall I would say this hand is played fine. But I would just call pre.

I wouldn't 3 bet this pre. You should just flat. It's a nice speculative hand.
You also have a couple of fish behind you who might tag along, which you want.

As played, I wouldn't bet this flop. When you get called you have hardly any equity. His range will mainly consist of pocket pairs and Kx here.
When you do decide to bet, and the turn comes a heart, this is definitely a barrel. I would go 2/3 to get his pockets to fold. If he calls again I wouldn't triple because his most likely holding will be AK/QK and with no info you don't know if he's capable of folding to a triple.

3 bet bigger, smaller flop and around 80% turn
Hand's a decent 3bet 200bb deep
But you can't play scared postflop and barrel the turn

Even with your Sizing I'd still go 70-75% on the turn
You fold out pocket pairs and have giant implied odds when he does call a big bet

As said, flat call in position makes more sense, specially if you know your opponent won't fold to your 3bet from UTG very often.
The K on the flop connects with the villain expected UTG range, so check-behind is what I would do. The c-bet is not ridiculous once you 3bet pre-flop, but overall I think checking is best.
The turn gives you a flushdraw and you have to decide to check-behind again or to semi-bluff. In this spot I would've prefer to check-behind again, as you did once he called on the flop, and see a free card to try to catch your flush.

I think this river is not a awfulspot to throw in a bluff. The way he played the hand is consistent with some sort of hand like AQ, AJ, AT that missed the flop and is trying to steal the pot or a hand that was slowplaying (AK'o, KQ and even QQ). AA, KK, QQ I think are hands he would 4bet pre-flop out of position.
If I knew him well I would've may be tempted to raise his bet, using the 3rd spade in my favor.

Like in previous hand i wonder if wr can overbet the turn, nice turn for that. Even with a Kx he wouldnt call very happily. It also prevents him from drawing and he will think we protecting overpairs. So our hand is in cover.
