Pair Of King with an Ace on the Flop

Had this problem a couple of time. I raise with pocket Kings preflop. The flop comes something like A95 rainbow. I bet and I get raised. Can I safely fold here?

Maybe.

It depends.

Yes you can but maybe you shouldn't.

reads: MP1 just sat down 1 orbit ago.

SB usually slow plays everything, especially if he thinks someone will do the betting for him.

BB is LP and plays anything.

i think i should have raised the flop to try and get it heads up. also if that happens, i can check the turn UI? fold either to a reraise?

my read on SB is why i folded the river. i think i should have played different earlier, so i could know whether to fold earlier.

I think raising the flop would be the correct play. There is only about a 44% chance that one of the other four players has an ace here. MP1 could be betting second pair and a BD flush draw, hoping you raise to thin the field?

Aside from the 44% thing mentioned above, if MP1 had an A, woudn't he usually try to CR?
