Looks ok to me, it's pretty unlikely villain has 5x, 76 or a set so you are probably ahead

I like the way this hand was played preflop: from SB we are (almost) never flatting, 3-bet or fold and K9s has conditions to play a good postflop game.
We also consider that BU opens a wider range for stealing, so we win when villain folds and in the case it calls we own initiative for the pot, for he can represent hands we don’t own but are possible for our 3-bet range.
Now what happens is awesome, BU folds and BB calls out of the way: observing that BB has a broken stack, we are assuming that it can be a decent player but not the top players that are staking at NLHE 50. Perhaps a recreational.
This flop is good for our TPMK and we are betting immediately to extract value of tons of hands that BB could’ve called with: bunch of pocket pairs, suited connectors, suited aces, etc.
Our sizing is also perfect, because we also have a large 3-bet range, so this sizing allow us to c-bet OOP the major part of our range.
On the turn we continue to bet when it comes an ace, a queen, a jack, another hearts for our BDF, another king that give us trips and, of course, a nine. We are slowing down (maybe) if it comes a six, a seven, a four, but even so we are double barreling almost any turn card.
The turn couldn’t be better for now we are also charging tricky kings that could’ve called preflop (KT+).
We can get 1/2 pot or 2/3 pot for there aren’t too much bluffs available.
On the river we elect to bet nearly pot size in the case villain has another king, or dominated two pair.
Villain folded and our triple barrel for value worked just fine. We could go OTR for checking, allowing villain to try to bluff us out, but then we could give a chance for villain to realize his equity for free when we are holding a very strong value hand.
Thanks a lot for posting and keep on grinding!
