Ok I admit, I shouldn't play 33 in this posistion, but this table has been pretty tight.

thoughts?
do you call the river?

You played it fine. I like to bet the full pot on the flop and turn, but I knit pick...sorry. I call that once on monday; twice on tuesday. I might even reraise that river, but that depends on my read. ALWAYS limp utg with a small PP and play it for a raise, a set is a set no matter if your seat 1 or the cutoff. Results?

i don't see a problem with your play except as shamrock says, i like bigger bets. I guess he hit a straight on you and slowplayed it to the river. My guess is QT which is more reason to charge him full on the flop.

He turned over KT and i won the hand. I wasn't too excited about the straight draw, but at the same time I was feeling good about my hand

I guess a party poker player moved over to stars.

well it is hard for me because I was almost always a UB player. That place is a rock garden

like everyone else said, play the 33 from anywhere. little pairs are probably my favorite hands to play...second only to middle pairs and big pairs.

a flop like KJ3 is ideal. i don't mind the smallish bet on the flop, since you were checked to and there is no flush draw. i think betting more and just winning the blinds would be a disaster. let a J come. turn bet is good, definitely the time to turn it up. of course i wouldn't like getting c/r on the river...but it's an easy call b/c three of a kind beats two pair and it's 3:1 to call.

i actually don't mind KT's river check raise...it just needs to be bigger...and on the turn. ok, his river play is terrible, nm.
