saw flop|saw showdown

UTG (t1500)
Hero (t1370)
MP1 (t3110)
MP2 (t1470)
CO (t1430)
Button (t2170)
SB (t1360)
BB (t1090)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A♦, A♣.
1 fold, Hero raises to t60, 2 folds, CO calls t60, Button calls t60, 2 folds.

Flop: (t210) 2♥, K♥, K♦ (3 players)
Hero bets t140, CO folds, Button folds.

Final Pot: t350

With a high pair on the board, obviously a king will be in the range of hands for both callers, is leading out here correct? I thought just checking would appear weak and allow the button to steal with a raise representing a King.

With these blinds I usualy make it 80 chips preflop. 60 just gives villains to much implied odds.

flop as played: NH. You are propably ahead here. I would go broke on this board btw. The two kings just mean there are less Kx combinations possible for villain (smaller chance anyone has a king), and you will get action from most pocket pairs on this board.

there is always a bigger fish

I agree with this. Although I'm absolutely fine with raising to 60 or 70 preflop as well.
