    Fold the flop. Since you called, fold the turn. There's very little hands you beat that play the flop/turn this way. On the river, I guess you gotta call now.

    what on earth are you worried about?

    Its a limped pot so I am not outkicked. There are no straights or flushes. The only things that beat me are two pairs and sets.

    It's a nothing pot, you can make weak laydowns to weak players and not be giving up much.

    Opponent is bluffing the crap out of 34...may even be 34 of hearts.

    Other option is a weaker K that didn't hit his kicker.

    I would have folded the flop here - tight-weak, but nothing pot and he feigned the set well on the flop and turn.

    A set. Seriously dude, if you are unable to fold TPGK in a limped 7-way pot on a super dry board to big bets, then you are going to lose a LOT of money to sets from aggressive players that will make you pay, often with your whole stack. Reads change everything, but I'm assuming you had none here.

    This is good advice.

    yeah just listen to what bdawg and fnord are saying. I don't even really think it's close either.

    I make a lot of money in UTG+1's spot here against people who think their TPGK is good because the board is virtually drawless and nobody raised it preflop...

    For the record, when I first read the HH, I thought it was a clear fold on the flop...
