there are these things called draws that people call with. you're getting action from: any 2 hearts, QJ, J9, likely AQ, likely AJ, 89, in addition, AK, KQ, KJ, AT, JT, TT, 77... even though you have the kings somewhat crippled it's still an action board and a lot of cards kill your action. furthermore, when you check, you're forced to make that dumb raise on the turn to build a pot which ends up looking super strong and leads decent players to folding big hands on a lot of rivers. and you're just not building a pot when you have a hand to play for stacks. if everybody folds it's not the end of the world!!! it means they didn't have sh*t, including any draws! the times it checks through and they hit their 2 outer set on the turn (a 5% chance) doesn't make up for that

re: turn raise size, if the guy bets less than half pot and there are a million draws, less than 3x his bet is way too small. in fact less than 3x the other player's bet is usually too small but especially here
