I don't understand what this means, can someone explain it?
Cheers for the replies though guys.

He means you shouldn't have checked the flop, but bet it instead and then be prepared to get all the money in if BTN raises on the flop.

As you played it, just raise and be prepared to get all the money in on the flop.

You flopped top set and, even on a monotone board, we're usually ecstatic and want to start shovelling the money in asap.

Any comments on how the hand played in its entirety?

Yeah. Bet the flop man. And take a note on him. Raise him hard pre and bet/c-bet him because he will miss the flop so often.
Even if 86s is at the bottom of his range he still playes half of the hands out there against hard raises meaning you have the best hand more than 75% of the time.

Overall the hand was played really quite badly.

Without sounding rude; each street was just played as poorly as possible.

Flatting the flop was terrible; jamming the turn was probably worse. It's like you played the hand completely backwards in the respect of passive flop line then aggro turn line when villian is drawing literally dead on the turn.

I like the bet out on the flop on the part of KKK instead of checking (on that I am in consensus with most people) , however regarding the shove all in- if the button raises, you would at least call of course... why reraise all in? (seems too early for that )
what hands could the button have first of all? it is either 2 diamonds, 1 diamond, or 0 diamonds. I like the all in on the flop , but only if you are up against a 1 diamond hand. What I am saying is that the shove all in on the flop loses to 2 diamond hand (not in this particular case, but KKK hand has to get lucky to catch a full house) , and chases away all of the 0 diamond hands- right?
so why, WHY is the reraise all in the best play?
I say bet out, and if raised, call his raise, see the turn.

Could we apply expected value here?
