Sharing this hand…

1/3. I opened middle 13 with KK. Got calls from utg+2,the button and the BB. (Table was playing tight so 13 was the norm to that point) button player was new to the game, with just 150 effective. Pot about 50 now. Flop was J88ss. I continued small with 20 and button raised to 45. Others folded. Top pair, flush draw? 910 for straight draw? Seem likely to me. 8? Seemed unlikely. I put him all in. He insta called. Turn river brick but he turns over 98hh.

So what do ya’ll think. I believe I played this fine. or is their a mistake I’m not seeing that I can learn from?

At this blind structure, players tend to bluff less and over bet big hands in fear of being drawn out on, I think a flat and re-evaluation on the turn is the optimum play especially with a player new to the table.
