PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $0.16 (8 bb)
MP: $2.51 (126 bb)
CO (Hero): $3.65 (183 bb)
BU: $1.82 (91 bb)
SB: $2.54 (127 bb)
BB: $2.19 (110 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is CO with K A
UTG raises to $0.16 (all-in), 1 fold, Hero 3-bets to $0.48, 2 players fold, BB calls $0.46

Flop: ($1.13) 5 J 6 (3 players, 1 all-in)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.50, BB raises to $1.71 (all-in), CO (Hero) folds

I raise preflop because I prefer to not having anyone else be in the pot.

On the flop do I cbet or not? After the check-raise on the flop it's an easy fold, isn't it?

PF is fine, OTF I'd check, I have nothing and I can not avoid a showdown, as played of course fold, you have a high card, you can't expect to win with that.

I expect the side pot is higher than the main pot on the flop, but with the backdoor flush draw I wouldn't mind to check this back to keep the pot as small as possible in position with 2 over cards. As played you can't do much else than folding.

Cheers,

Im still Having problems with cold callers this days.
Pre-flop iso 3bet is ok.
Flop could be a bet/ call with two overs and a backdoor flushdraw/str8draw. You block his bluffing range (KQs, AQs...), so checking would be my main option though.
