Default Re: a loopy logy little hand

Flop: This is not really a scary board for any hands, and
although no1 is going to fold a pocket pair, and possibly
not any two cards, you decided to play your pocket kings as
if you had overcards. This allows people to give you more
action on later streets by putting doubt into their minds
as to the strength of your hand. It might induce
excessive action from somebody who hits a jack or something
on the turn.

Despite captain quads hand reading, to me that flop check reeks to high heaven of "Hey, I got aces or a 9". If you put in any raises at all after this flop line, you can go ahead and turn your hand over. Most high cards are going to peel one with you, pairs will go apeshit on the flop and everyone expects the raiser to bet this flop 99% of the time 3 to the flop. You have to fire with low connectors to try and steal, and you have to protect AQ because it is likley the best hand. Logically the only hand that doesn't bet this 3 handed are AA, a 9 or maybe KK since dry aces will peel anyways on the flop and that is the only worry. Bet the flop, get the action started and disguise your hand.
