Thoughts on all streets appreciated.

Calls

Wp on all streets allthough I would consider bombing the flop with so much dead money in there.

I fold here. I guess you're facing a weirdly played AK or 22. You said he is a live pro so I assume he is decent. Your hand looks a lot like trip kings or maybe an Ace trying to get some value. Most people don't try to bluff someone off trips on the river. And if he is good he's not going all in with Kq or Kj.

pre is close

raise flop.

i like turn

fold river

I would definitely bomb flop as I don't really want to turn flush 5 handed. As played villian might think he is getting value from kq, although if he doesn't usually 3bet pre with ak it does make things closer. I just don't see a good player with ak+ flatting the flop with everyone to act behind him, especially with such a small flop bet unless he thinks there is a good chance someone will squeeze.

As played I folded the river because I don't think his hand is a bluff. The reason I tanked for a few minutes is that he was to the left of the donkey so he would've 3 bet pre to isolate the donkey (which is what most of us was going for), even if he didn't iso pre he definitely should otf because of all the draws out there he is giving everyone great odds to call with even gutters.

After I folded my hand, the donkey reached over and flipped both of our cards over (people can get away with anything when they are super live), and villain had 2,2 ... I thought i was very weird the way he played it OTF and checking the turn then raising the river. Against me he knows I probably don't have K5 or K2, but he knows for sure I don't have AK or 55.

Good lay down I guess, but really horribly played by villian. If you aren't raising the flop with your hands villian is just opening himself up to losing that pot as almost half the deck is bad for him.

yeah my final reasoning was whether he was bluffing (not likely), and if he had something that could beat me he played it super trickily.
