Yeah, c-bet looks unlikely to take down the pot here. Without reads I check.

I bet 600 on that flop. I would consider 350 a probe bet rather than a c-bet. If I bet 600 and button comes over top then I know I'm beat.

Well, this early in the tournament i wouldn't get too attached to a medium pp which didnt hit a set in a flop like that, specially after his raise.
Easy lay down in my opinion, unless you got some awsome reads on this guy, but still, even if it were a bluff/semibluff he could still get some odds to beat you.

It's not about risk. It's -EV. Just check/fold.

Two ways to play and either are fine:

1) Rep the A and make a c-bet. Your problem was not that you made a c-bet, it was that your c-bet was so damn small (only 1/3 of the pot). You need to bet 600+ on that flop to rep the A. If you aren't willing to do that, then your second option is:

2) check/fold. You had two limpers in LP who both decided to come along for your ride. If they are dumb enough to call your bet preflop with A rag, then they definitely aren't going to fold postflop when an A hits. With your stack, I lean much more towards this option.

HU, you could bet here, but I really think this is spew. The fact that you bet so small even gives him a nice chance to semi bluff you out with something like QJ. you are repping KK that wants to fold.

thanks guys... consensus seems to be, if I bet here, make a bigger bet, or just check/fold. And most of you lean toward the check/fold, against 2 players. Thanks for taking a look-- poor play now that I look back on it.
