What\'s the best option here?
 

First time I'm posting a hand so apologies if it doesn't come out right.

Could you advice me what would be the wise thing to do and more importantly why?

Thanks!

I give you 4 outs. Fold the flop.

I'd fold this preflop because of your bad position. Then on the flop you HAVE TO fold because you are probably drawing to running kings, jacks, or king jack.

I'm folding the flop here. The pot was still small, and you might not be good if your King hits.

Oh my bad I forgot about the extra 1.5 outs to the backdoor flush, but still you HAVE TO fold the flop, because of small pot (aka TERRIBLE pot odds).

fold preflop - terrible position for a terrible hand.
fold flop - two backdoor draws isn't really much.

The "loose" spreadsheet has this calling in EP, FWIW.

In general I think most fold KJo in EP.

Re: What\'s the best option here?
 

Looking back I should have folded flop. The players were very loose and I thought that I'd just ride it a bit further. (the BB won this hand with a pair of 3s)

I think that although I followed the SSHE starting hand chart I'll pass on the KJo in early position form now on.

Thanks for the advice!
