What are your thoughts on this fold against unknown villain? does he always have sets here? I'm often stuck in these situations, and I can't figure out what the optimal play is

Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37861785

BTN: $9.95 (99.5 bb)
SB: $14.61 (146.1 bb)
BB: $33.51 (335.1 bb)
Hero (UTG): $10.40 (104 bb)
MP: $10.58 (105.8 bb)
CO: $15.80 (158 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K

Hero raises to $0.30, MP calls $0.30, 3 folds, BB calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.95) K

(3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.40, MP calls $0.40, BB raises to $2.51, 2 folds

check or bet flop, easy fold

Bigblind didn't 3x pre (so no AK in his range, no AA or KK unless he's tricky - which still beats you)
He check raised that dry azz flop, so what else other than a set or 2 pair does he have here?

Even if you have AK here, It's a fold to his play

No...

But I think this is a fold... here's some reasonings;
- u are multiway.
- MP might still have it.
- BB c/r vs UTG open range + cbet looks strong
- u have better hands here to continue with
- we have no info from V
- board is super dry. Hardly any draws can make this play.
- Don't think (im sure) u need to worry about balancing and exploiting stuffs on NL10

Also, I'd like to cbet bigger lil bigger since its multiway.. like ~65c-75c
