Preflop
If the players behind are bad, its fine to size up a little with a premium hand like KK. But if you are playing against the same regulars day after day, then you should not give away this kind of bet sizing tell. Maybe not that relevant at 2NL, but it will matter at higher stakes.

Flop
As I have said before, top set is always a little difficult to win big pots with, since it block most of the top pair combos. There is also no flushdraw on board, so I am ok starting with a small bet, that the opponent can call with second or third pair or his gutshot draws like QJ or QT.

Turn
T7 got there, but if he can have that, he can also have 96 or 86, which turned two pair. I generally tend to size up on the turn, and I would do that here as well. Maybe bet 0,2 instead of just 0,1. There are more draws now, that you can get paid by.

River
Pretty much a total brick. Because you bet so small, I feel, you would most likely have gotten raised, if he had two pair or better. So I kind of feel, his range is mostly weak made hands and busted draws. And for that reason I am ok not going to big.

Results
Pretty shocked he had AA and played it this passively. Then maybe he could also have two pair and not raise it, so I think, you missed a bit of value at least on the turn.

I agree that i should have bet more on the turn because he would have called with a lot of worse hands
but still in the river if i were to quarter bet the pot mayby it would intimidate him to raise with a two pair or a lower set but i think he was gonna call that small bet most of the times instead of raising so mayby 2/3 or 3/4 pot was more correct here

On the turn we could've bet a more large ammount of chips, because of the flush draw.
Surprisingly, villain had AA and wouldn't have folded to any bet sizing that we put on the turn or river.
