    I'm raising in that position, pre-flop, with 3 people folding to me.

    WIth a UTG and UTG+1 call, I fold KJo. With 5 peoplek folding to me on the button, I either raise to 300 as a steal or fold. KJ is a horrible hand... Unless you are in PFM mode. (PUSH FOLD MONKEY MODE).

    Your flop bet was fine.

    Forgive me, its late.

    All looks good to me. Eh at these levels, because I play in the same, you wouldn't believe the things people limp in with. KJo is prolly the best hand in besides a PP of some sort.

    A PFR might be good, but not necessary. Post-flop looks perfect to me.
    pulling a courtiebee pŏŏl-ĭng ā kôrt-ē-bē (verb phrase):
    1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
    2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway

    KJ is a terrible hand unless you can take over the hand by being the aggressor by raising it in position preflop, but with limpers i fold KJ, limpers could easily have AJ or KQ or something that has you dominated. even if its folded to me on the button i fold it a lot if i have a decent stack, ill usually only steal with it or try to make a play if i absolutely need chips
