No reads on any of the players. Preflop, I am not folding to a minbet. I called the flop because KJ/KT are probably firing out that bet but on the turn I convinced myself he had flopped a set. AK is a possibility I suppose but I figured AK is most likely re-raising preflop to get the pot HU.

Should I re-raise the flop?

I felt like I was folding the best hand here a way too high % of the time since KJ could "value bet" this brick turn as well or he could have turned a flushdraw with kxs.

That dinky little flop bet is how I often play a set on a non-coordinated board. I think I would have raised his flop bet, and folded if he re-raised or if he called and lead at the turn. (Also put the breaks on if the original raiser plays with your flop raise.)

Close call. I don't mind the fold since sooo many people saw the flop and being in SB there you can't rule anything 2-pair out as well as the sets.

In my first response, I just commented on how I would have played the flop. I forgot to mention that since you called the flop, I think your laydown on the turn is good.

SB represented a pair of K's or better with his flop bet, and two players behind you also called with a completely uncoordinated board. Despite the calls on his flop bet, he fired another barrel on the turn.

I'm almost certain you're behind at least one of the remaining players.

Preflop: Mandatory call.

Flop: I might re-raise the flop bet to something like 300 and fold if re-raised.

Turn: If you are still around and your flop bet didn't take it down, I'm checkng behind and folding to a bet.

Your call on the flop was fine and then folding to the bet on the turn is good as well. I just would have taken the re-raise line on the flop and then slowed down to a sign of strength.
