Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

Hero (SB): $2.79 (139.5 bb)
BB: $2 (100 bb)
UTG: $2.07 (103.5 bb)
MP: $3.69 (184.5 bb)
CO: $8.93 (446.5 bb)
BTN: $1.87 (93.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8♣: 8♦:
2 folds, CO raises to $0.07, BTN folds, Hero calls $0.06, BB folds
I call to set-mine here.

Flop: ($0.16) 8♠: 7♠: K♠: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.14, CO calls $0.14
Yippee I make my set - ah - it is on a board. I donk (over 3/4 as some protection from incomplete draws) with the idea I would fold to a raise. He calls my raise. Should I check/call here (Depending on odds) though as I have 7 outs to either full house or quads. Does the call point to the fact he doesn't have the flush? Maybe a K or a single spade or T9 for an incomplete draw?

Turn: ($0.44) K♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks
Think I missed a lot of value here - don't think it clicked at the time that I had a full house, so worried about the flop I hadn't even noticed the board paired - presumably I should have bet here? Possibly bet smaller to keep him interested, or does a check make sense, as if he makes his straight or flush I will get paid off (if I noticed what I was holding). I presume Kx is probably out now as I assume he might raise behind now?

River: ($0.44) J♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks
Looking back again - it still hadnt clicked I was way ahead. Should this have just been a raise for value - or would checking here be okay to induce a bluff from any busted draws or slow-played finished flushes?

Results:

Spoiler

$0.44 pot ($0.02 rake)
Final Board: 8♠: 7♠: K♠: K♣: J♣:
Hero showed 8♣: 8♦: and won $0.42 ($0.21 net)
CO mucked 2♣: J♠: and lost (-$0.21 net)

The biggest thing you can learn from this hand is: DON'T PLAY TOO FAST. If you played more slowly you'd see you hit your fullhouse OTT.

As played, yes you missed alot of value by checking the turn.
Best is just to play Bet/bet/bet, if he hit the king, he's never going to fold the turn.

And i doubt he's going to stab OTR with missed draws, so it's best to bet ourselves to extract value from flushes/Kx.

On NL2 you can’t expect players will change the hand in to a bluff and it’s easy to try to get 3 streets of value with our monster hand. Hopefully you don’t miss it again you had a FH on the turn and river. Other reason could be that you were playing to many tables while you missed the FH here.

Cheers,
