Fold. Not close.

[MHarris]

Very easy fold.

[jason_t]

The line villain is taking here often represents a monster or he just hit is draw. Clear fold.

What he said. Your best realistic hope on the flop was that he bet the OESD with JT. That draw just came in.

I usually just bet right out on these flops is check-raising here standard. I think it makes the hand harder to play and I hate to see it checked through. Fold the turn were dead to KQ and JT and near dead to K9.

I would bet out and fold to any raise in this hand.

Folds. The call the raise, raise the turn is a big sign of strength. Most 2/4 ish players have 2 pair of better when doing this and you could be up against a JT. You are get almost 8:1 that with implied odds is usually enough when you are drawing to two pair or trips, however, you are going to make your hand a lot of times and still lose.
Also, I'm curious who
1)bets this flop
2) who if they decided not to bet the flop folds the mid pair weakish kicker in the tiny pot?

I like hero's flop line here. It allows you to get away for nothing when UTG bets, which likely indicates some strength, while giving you the opportunity to either check-raise a position bet or get a free card and bet a safe turn card.

EAsy Fold, chances that he has you beat plus the chances of him having a big draw makes middle no kicker an easy fold.

I'd rather just lead the flop here. There was no raise PF, you got midpair, and you stand a reasonable chance of picking up the pot right there. And the way villain played it I fold.
