How should I have played this differently?

[stickdude]

I'm xyzzy14. I have pocket kings and lose to triple 7's. I checked after the flop to see if anyone would jump on the Ace that flopped, but it didn't seem like anyone really was eager to see it.

check fold the flop. I wouldn't cold call two bets with this field because you don't want it reraised. You might have odds to chase 2 outs if you knew the pot would be closed after your betting but this is a check fold. too many people to lead into too. save your bets.

Yeah I check fold the flop there. You are getting in the neighborhood of 14:1 but still not enough to justify the call. If it had just been bet and called back to you then take one off.
