Pacific Poker - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 100 BB
BTN: 191.8 BB
SB: 107.6 BB
BB: 104.8 BB
Hero (UTG): 138.6 BB
MP: 206 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K♣ J♠

Hero raises to 3 BB, MP calls 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (9.4 BB, 3 players) 4♣ 9♠ K♦
BB checks, Hero checks, MP bets 4 BB, BB calls 4 BB, Hero calls 4 BB

Turn: (21.4 BB, 3 players) 6♠
BB checks, Hero checks, MP bets 10 BB, BB calls 10 BB, Hero calls 10 BB

River: (51.4 BB, 3 players) 2♠
BB checks, Hero checks, MP bets 20 BB, BB calls 20 BB, fold

Preflop ok.

Flop I decided to check-call, should've gone for the raise since I get plenty of worse to call.
KJ is not a good check-raise, right?

Turn check-call again, thinking the agressor might value bet Kx worse kicker.

River I don't believe I'm better here.
He might have sets, two pair and the unlikely flush beats me here as well.

Would you have called?

Thanks.

Why? You have a cbet here most of the time.

Would you have called?

Nobody could answer. Without information whatever you do will be wrong

Agree on the cbet. Not sure why I didn’t.

I had played about 20 hands with them so the info is not useful.

It’s as useful as the last part of your answer, man.
Against unknowns in a 3way pot, top pair decent kicker handles 3 streets of betting?
specially with a call behind?

If it’s actually not possible to answer these, then alright.

This is a rare spot to be honest. My sense of recall tolds me that there is a chance that your top pair will be good OTR in terms of field tendencies. But i am not sure of an estimate frequency with witch you should call/fold.

You are getting 4.5 to 1 to call (22%). I agree that without info on villains, that's an impossible puzzle to solve. The odds are very good.
This takes back to not CBeting Flop point. Specially against unknow, your CBet would be a source of information (imo). WIthout any info, I can't fold, because:
1- Odds
2- MP betting pattern. I wouldn't expect any set to bet 1/2 OTF and OTT and the same % OTR, when a flush is possible.
3- BB is clearly weak, by calling without closing action. Just because of him, I think I'd check/raise turn. Let me guess, he was the one with set
4- I can't see many flush combos that would be there, since your J blocks suited :spade: QJ/JT that had a GS on flop

What You think about fold preflop on UTG KJo? I prefer fold this hand here preflop.

Same, fold pre. KQo bottom, KJs we can open. Unless we have reads that the table is nitty, we shouldn't be opening KJo imo

As played, it's a guessing game. We should c-bet flop and continue from there. If our c-bet gets called or raised, it gives us information about the range of our opponent.

I would fold pre-flop as well or you are on a tight table.
As played a small cbet seems reasonable multi way with top pair on a dry board and re-evaluete. Playing a guessing game multi way is always tough. Decent change you are playing he 2nd best hand if you call villain down. Especially if it will stay multi way like now. River seems like a easy fold.
