I'd be folding pre flop, don't think KTs is going to play well against other people's calling range.

I'd normally check but this guy looks quite passive from 30 hands, I'd bet around 15bb getting value from 9x/7x/draws and even worse kings. I see so many hands in their range that would check behind but call another bet.

As a general rule the more passive the opponent the more I'd be inclined to bet this turn (with check being the default play).

As for the preflop decision, I think it's fine and it will be player/field dependent. Some people won't be able to make KTs profitable UTG and some players will.

I thought the open was standard, surprised to see a call for a fold.

I'm definitely barrelling with so much equity in position. We should have some fold equity, probably have the best hand more than half the time, and we're making it likely we'll face another check on the river allowing us to check it back avoiding an awkward situation where a player who's likely bad can stab with who knows what if we check the turn.
