Let's say a Tight passive open limps UTG, Lag limps next in, loose passive limps in CO, tightish reg limps button, Tight reg completes SB We check Ks9c in BB

Do you bet or start with a check and probable Raise on these flops? Assuming SB checks.

I think hand 1) should be a check and see. We don't have the greatest kicker. The board is not super wet. If we are behind we are way behind. I'd like someone to take a stab at this pot.

Hand 2 and 3 I am more concerned about protecting my hand. I think betting hand 3) makes sense on a wetish board. There will be value from peels and draws. I would prefer no free cards on the flop or the turn. I think in both cases if there is an agro player to the right who likes to bet when checked to going for the CR makes sense. Absent that read I think leading in both spots is fine.

Define tight passive's UTG open limping range. Does it include KQ? KJ? KT? Does it include any 9's? 99?

I'd say AQo, A9s, KQo, KJs, QJs, QTs, JTs, maybe 99's, 88's, 77's....Ballpark....He might limp with better hands as well but does have a raising range.

I'm definitely leading the second and third. I'd probably check the first at game speed but I'd consider leading it.

Yup, agree that hand 1 we should lead at the lowest frequency and other 2 i strongly prefer a bet based on the information provided
