PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG): 102 BB
CO: 113 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 8.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
BTN: 104.5 BB (VPIP: 11.11, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 12.50, Hands: 18)
SB: 378 BB (VPIP: 31.25, PFR: 20.72, 3Bet Preflop: 11.43, Hands: 116)
BB: 92.5 BB (VPIP: 37.50, PFR: 37.50, 3Bet Preflop: 16.67, Hands: 16)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ K♦

Hero raises to 3 BB, CO calls 3 BB, BTN calls 3 BB, fold, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (12.5 BB, 4 players) 9♦ 7♥ 4♦
BB checks, Hero bets 10 BB, CO calls 10 BB, fold, fold

Turn: (32.5 BB, 2 players) A♠
Hero bets 15 BB, CO calls 15 BB

River: (62.5 BB, 2 players) 7♠
Hero checks, CO bets 60.5 BB

What do I do here?

Draws didn't arrive, the board gets paired. I think he is capable of calling 9x and 7x down. My intention was to check/call and let him bet flush draws and 9x. That pot size bet just seemed weird and I was pretty tempted to call it.

Wtf that's optimistic lol.
I'm not sure I would even cbet that flop texture but anyway I wouldn't go for a barrel that big.
And I sure as hell wouldn't second barrel on an ace.
After that it's an easy fold for me, you already value cutted yourself hard.

Because you have the Kd and are 4way on a texture you're gonna have a hard time with. You're gonna get raised by a mix of sets and draws and you won't like it. Overplaying overpairs is a common leak be careful.
Apparently Snowie checks or bet 1/4 (both same EV).

Flop bet is too big 4way. Check or bet smaller. Fold equity is small, someone can raise you and put you on a difficult spot.
Ace is a card for your range and you look super strong on a double barrel, but it is overplaying KK to me.
Check flop and bet turn would have some merits on the ace.
As played, check fold river.

I think the flop is too wet to check, would probably bet smaller (60% of the pot or so). Definitely folding to a raise 4-way on the flop if it happens.
Check/folding the turn is the best option in my opinion, maybe check/call if you think the villain will be floating some flush draws, but then again a lot of Axs call that flop...
