Kind of a loose open but most players were easily folding to cbets and any raises in general.

3/5 live game, 7 players, straddle is out.
I have about 1100 total and villain has 900.

I have K

o in mid position i make it $40, guy to my left calls and has been playing pretty loose (showing things like 85s etc). BB calls as well

Flop K

i make it 100 , guy to left thinks for a bit and calls and now BB thinks for about 10 secs and shoves for 900.

To me this feels like a KJ, QJ, QT type hand? I feel like he would either want value out of J9, and AJ/KQ is possibly even 3betting pre out of the BB vs calling vs 2 players?

You mentioned how the guy to your left plays, but what about BB?

sorry, he was new to the table, no reads. pretty sure first real hand he was involved in. he was a mid 20s asian kid with nice reading glasses and a hoodie

Interesting spot complicated by having no reads beyond physical appearance. Other V looks like he has pair and draw with a J. Main V shouldn't have a big pair and we block KK and 1010. But AJ and J9 are certainly possible (particularly AJ) - KQ and Q10 are also possible but we block both. I just don't think we have enough equity here to stack off.

My thought would be to fold. You have no reads on V, plus he's 3-betting into a caller and you, someone who has c-bet the flop OOP into two players on a very coordinated board. So for him to make that bet he has to assume you hit the flop pretty good and is banking on you calling your two pair or set.

Fold. Population is not shoving light here. And bad players may take this line with better made hands that are not straights.

Villain may accidentally bluff with ak or kj, but probably not shoving many combos of other jx and ax.

I'd snap fold vs a raise this size.
Probably also folding KQ, though I wouldn't hate a call with KQ.
