KTs open, flop 445 three-way.

button caller is 42-9 over 32 hands, 40% fold to flop cbet (2/5), 20% raise flop cbet, no showdowns. BB is 40-20 over 12.
chat is cos i had stacked someone the previous hand when my top two beat their one pair - now they're sitting out.

Open standard? flop bet-fold or check-fold?

Open is probably the worst King I open from MP (6max MP) but with fish OTB and in the blind it's going to be good.

Flop is a c/f we are exploiting them by hitting and going to value town on them and probably getting to realise a lot of our equity post flop because they are likely passive post too. So I see no need to do anything else.

My vote is c/f. You aren't getting them to fold nearly enough for this to be worthwhile, and the button has a great spaz shove flop stack.

I'm not a fan of cbetting K high and worse on rag flops in 3way raised pot unless fold to cbet stats are ludicrously high. I expect we're getting called too often by pairs, maybe even ace high. I'd c/f this happily. I'm certainly opening this pre.

I'd just bet half pot, your sample size just indicates they're loose pre and not much else, so they'll just have trash and prob fold it pretty often. Obviously it would be a much clearer bet if there was a heart on board, but still. I'd barrel any turn that's between 9 and K.

Pre is a very easy open.


Flop is an easy small bet vs two loose donks. Just bet like 1.10. It's an effective semibluff and you can triple barrel on J and Q turns, I think.

I think you should go check, because maybe somebody of them to have better cards than you, like pocket pair or AK,AQ.

I'm definitely C-betting this here. If they didn't hit they will probably fold.

Of course, if they have 66+ (with the intention of flopping a set, and then ending up with an overpair), you probably won't get them to fold.

I'd c-bet the flop, but then c/f if there's any action after that
