At this point I'm thinking queens or aces. Should I slow down and see the flop and re-evaluate there or should I push?

How could I have extracted more money here? I figured hands that try to limp before the flop and call a preflop raise would of hit the A or J. What were they holding, small PP or suited connectors?

Hand 1 : fold or raise preflop. Don't limp on the button with crap.
As played, raise the flop a little more (make it 1.6 total as it really draw heavy) and fold to a raise. Once he calls its down to reads. Though the way he played it, its either he flopped the str, a set or he has a weaker 2 pair.
hand 2 : There is almost no right place to fold K's PF in micro when you're only 100bb deep. That said, without reads it really looks like he has A's. (and btw, your hand is pretty obvious as well) You can call. And try to get to a cheap show down.
hand 3 : I would probably c-bet this 50% of the time. Unless one of your opponent is known to c/r a lot. I'm defiantly betting the turn. It was checked to you twice - bet it. Now you can extract value when they do not have hands. Again in micro no one can even guess what they have that they think is good enough to call a raise. It could be any two suited cards, Kx - Jx, and connected cards or pretty much anything.

Hand 1: Raise more on the flop. I strongly disagree with Darling's rationale about raising preflop. The "raise or fold" school of thought belongs in tournaments and limit games. Limping on the button in NL cash games is frequently a fine play, especially if your opponents makes more mistakes post flop. And what weaker two pair is he raising on the turn? Any legitimate hand he has on the turn has you beat. Unless there is a good reason not to, this is an easy fold.
Hand 2: Ship it in. $10 NL opponents have a much bigger range than QQ-AA here. The sizes of his raises might be worrisome, but this isn't the situation I'm mucking KK preflop.
Hand 3: Bet earlier. But if he doesn't have anything, you aren't getting paid anyway, so there probably isn't anything you can do to make more money here.

I figured at this point there wasn't a hand that I was ahead of right here that would make this bet into that board besides a bluff. I would of raised more on the flop, but I didn't want to take it down right there. I raised enough to give him 3:1 odds on the str8 draw. Should I make it 2:1 next time?

Seat 8: Dead1 showed K K and won ($20.47) with three of a kind Kings
Knowing that I was only behind aces here I felt I had to push especially since I can see players at this level playing queens the same way. I just hoped he didn't turn over aces which he did. I then turned into the ultimate luck box to win.
