It's probably fairly obvious what I'm trying to do here (not get KK to fold, but everyone else, creating dead money.) Bad idea?

Any reason why you didn't bet 6th street?

You raised someone's open K's. So what are you representing... rolled 7s? trip 9s? Two pair with 7s?

By 6th street you could have a flush (3rd running heart) or 7s full. Seat 6 is scary, but seat 3 is the one who is likely to have a better two pair by the river. Seems like a good place to keep betting to put the pressure on. Or bet 6th and have a better chance of checking through the river.
