unlucky river card...
preflop is the right play, but you need to raise in the flop, and in the turn. Because you have more than 90% equity to win that hand. you can't make villain see cheap cards in that type of situation, I know you need to extract value from kings, but lets say, villain had KQ, KJ, KT, he would win this hand, because you played a very passive posflop

You need to get the money in on the turn. You can either raise the flop and jam the turn or just call the flop and then jam the turn, when he bet again. It is rarely a good line to slowplay against a fish. If he is leading out with top pair, he is not going to fold it, especially not when he only started with half a stack.

As played checking behind on the river is fine, since your hand got counterfeited, and you now lose to any KX. It is sort of close though, since he could also have 4X or a flush and pay you off. But if you are not sure, you can get called by worse often enough to compensate for the times, he slowplay KX, definitely nothing wrong with just taking a showdown.

it's true my mistake, is that after this flop I decided to slow play the turn, but slow play never works is incredible

yes on the river I was obliged to check, because Kx was very in his range ... now if at least two pairs had crossed my mind I would have bet three streets high a three barrel

with this very strong hand on wet turn, I couldn't allow the villain saw the river. whatever , is a cooler and is hard for me to play this pos flop .

It seems that Villain donking OTF represents a lot of strength. Anyways, we cannot be raising probably the best hand for this board on a very dry flop like this, i.e, no FDs, no SDs.
OTT we can be raising, but it is optional, since we are barely never doing it with a flush when there are a pair on the board "44".
Calling OTT seems okay, once Villain's line represents a lot of strength.
Which hands could be limping preflop, donking OTF and c-betting turn? Kx, K7 very rare but possible, K4, and 44. Maybe fish limped KK, but this is not very likely.
So, if we observe this situation very coldly, and approach it and touch it, we are quite sure that Villain has no 7's on its range, so we discard the K7 possibility.
The 4x would never be donking OTF, with no draws.
AK, KQ, KJ, KT, Kx are hands that could be doing it in general.
We don't believe any underpair, like QQ, or JJ, for example would be taking this line. We also don't believe Villain limped-called AA preflop.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the river, any Kx present on Villain ranges are beating the hell out of us and 44 that has quads. Now, any Kx, has a better full-house, and for this logic of range reading, I would be checking OTR too, because I don't see any worst hand paying a bet on the river, that it is not a Kx, 44 or AA, on which Villain will almost never limp preflop.

Smooth call on the flop I would say is pretty fine just as a raise, as when villain raises the flop his range does contain a lot of bluffs and pairs lower than top pair and top pairs.
Following the turn when he bets I think a raise for value is essential here as all his top pairs and 2nd pairs are calling a raise following the call. You could probably get his stack in on the turn.
River is just damn unlucky and that is the game of poker. This is why aggressive play is much better because he does check and when the river does come you can evaluate then. Mostly your play is fine other than the turn.
