Second hand at the table. First hand I posted in the CO and it down with a flop bet after the BB checked.

Hero folds. You missed the flop entirely &amp; only have K high, and who knows what cards (if any) are good for you.

The kind of players who pay enough attention to notice your playing patterns expect you to raise relatively lightly from MP3 on, and won't think much of you bet/folding this flop. What you don't want to show those players is that you'll put enough bets into the pot postflop to give them implied odds to call your future blind steals with crap. The donks'll do whatever they want, so you don't have to worry about what your play might look like to them.
