I was so pissed off with the start of this hand. Capped pre-flop with 6 people! I knew my KK wouldn't hold and that I would need at least a set.

** Summary **
Main Pot: $91 | Rake: $3
One guy was packing AQo for the straight and another guy was calling down with QT and thankfully caught his 3rd T.
I knew that I was behind the whole way and got the exact cards I was asking for. The K to put a 3 flush on the board and then the T for my full.
Would anyone have played this differently?

Nice hand ... nope - I too would have bet the river.

sucks that nobody was chasing for the flush that hand
nicely played ... turns out you were ahead for the most part :D

amazing, capped preflop with 6 players in the pot, not a single raise throughout the rest of the hand and 5 players see the river
continous betting is a good play

Personally I can't believe you bet $2 into that pot with that flop, might as well have given a free card to anyone who was chasing their flush OR straight draw. I would've bet more, 2 is an underbet of weakness and/or lack of faith from a timid player.

I probably would have bet more.... but for some reason the site would only let me bet $2 on the flop. On the turn and river though it would let me bet $4. 
Check the table info at the start of the post. $2/4 LIMIT.

A classic case of no fold 'em hold 'em.
Glad you won out with a nice hand. This is why sometimes I abhor fixed limit. Seems like the draws always have the advantage and you can't do enough to narrow the field. I propose a new game called fixed/NL hold em where at any point you can make ONE bet that is not bound by the fixed limit, but only once during each hand. LOL.

Ever try PL? It's a curious mix, having the pot cap. Preflop it doesn't allow you to bet out as much as you may like (imagine UTG with a big PP), but postflop the action plays similar to NL.
Check/raising in PL is a necessary skill for leverage ...

Pot Limit...what a concept! LOL...forgot about that one. I have played P/L Omaha many times, but P/L hold em never/rarely. I still prefer N/L, but thx for the reminder.
