PokerStars - $0.16 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $16.86 (VPIP: 21.25, PFR: 17.50, 3Bet Preflop: 3.45, Hands: 80)
SB: $4.50 (VPIP: 39.36, PFR: 2.13, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 95)
BB: $16.24 (VPIP: 20.85, PFR: 17.22, 3Bet Preflop: 3.25, Hands: 980)
UTG: $16.00 (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 5)
MP: $21.09 (VPIP: 21.15, PFR: 17.31, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 54)
Hero (CO): $19.79

SB posts SB $0.08, BB posts BB $0.16

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.24) Hero has K A

UTG raises to $0.48, fold, Hero raises to $1.60, BTN raises to $3.84, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $2.24

Flop: ($8.40, 2 players) 5 2 2
Hero checks, BTN bets $4.01, Hero?

I'm not 100% that preflop is okay, sample size is only 80 hands so that's a concern, but at the time 4bet folding seems awful, shoving seemed bad with his 3bet % and calling leaves flop situations like the one that followed.

What should I be doing on this flop?

I would flat pre vs unknown UTG.
As played flatting 4bet isn't horrible but it is going to be tricky when we don't know how he plays. Think I would just rip it in and hope for the best, sample size is small enough that his 3bet/4bet stats will be misleading.
Shouldn't really x/f this flop if you think that flatting pre is a good option.

Yeah flat the UTG raise pre. Tbh I'm just folding to the cold 4bet from the BTN who appears to be a tight 3bettor from initial stats (and even though it's a bit small to say, the fact is cold 4bets are usually the nuts anyway, even from guys with a 6-8% 3bet stat). Especially given positions - he just cold 4bet a guy who 3bet an UTG open.
