Stack off with Ks on dry board?
Pokerstars $0.15/$0.30 NLHE
Hero (~100bbs) is big blind with KK. UTG limps, CO (villain, ~100bbs) raises to 5.5bb, Hero reraises to 12bb. UTG folds, CO calls. Board comes out [Jc 8d 6c 3s Th]. Hero bets about half pot all streets to get stacks in, villain calls all streets. Is this overvaluing top pair? Brand new to these stakes, not sure how often villain shows up with AJ/KJ/QJ/QQ/FD here instead of a set or straight. Thought about checking turn but not many cards that scare me on the river so i was comfortable betting turn and barreling river with most cards. Thoughts?

Also, I did have Kc so i was blocking a lot of FDs
Preflop - You have to go bigger - I would go for 15-16bb.
Flop - I prefer big bet, but 1/2 is fine too
Turn - 3s is never improving villain calling range so you should bet a lot there with your overpair advantage.
River - clean runout, easy shove. If he has set so be it, folding overpair there is out of question.
I agree with all of this. You can essentially get to the turn with less than PSB left if you raise up to 15 to 17bb pre, bet 19 to 22 on flop. I think we a) give up too much value not betting turn and b) allow too many free cards/equity realization to hands that will call turn bets but would absolutely love to see a free river (KQ, Jx, etc.).
You will lose here sometimes by blasting off but it is best approach here IMO.
he had pocket Ts for what its worth. awful river
