Hey everyone. Not a super in depth hand, but a gross spot.

Hero has $470 and all Vs have between 700 and 1200, with the player that raises flop having about 900. Hero has a fairly neutral image, 30 yo WG who has won some and lost some and up $70.

8handed H raises UTG1 to 20 with K

and get V1 in CO, V2 (700) on BTN and V3 (700) in bb.

Flop $80 A

V3 checks H bets $50 V1 makes it $150 within 5s and it folds back to H. Our play?

We have a lot of hands with worse absolute strength that are better to defend because of redraws. AA/QQ/TT/AxKs are all probably better to go with. I’d fold. If he’s making this play with 2P that’s pretty bad.

no reads? without reads it's a fold at 2/5, particularly given the bet timing. as mentioned above we have no redraws. calling here means we'll very likely have to call future bets to realize our equity.

+1, without reads this is a fold.

Calling would mean you'd have to commit your stack and I just don't see this hand doing very well in this situation a lot.

This looks like a small flush. Except for AT/TT, other 2-pr/sets are 3b pre. Most players with a pair and Ks are likely flatting flop. I'd fold.

Depending on the table dynamic, I'm more inclined to limp pre from EP and <100 bbs eff. Keep the implied odds large.

I folded on the flop and didn’t get to see what V had. Thanks for confirming it was an ok fold.

I would check/call the flop. (strong hand, can't improve, stack size)

Play the turn depend on the run out.
