Re: KK slowplay. I\'m going to raise it anyway.
I think if you are going to not raise the flop, I don't like raising the turn here.
This is very much wa/wb, just in a multiway pot. Button likely doesn't have that many outs against you anyway since there are no overcards. (He'll be getting a little under 10-1, so maybe slightly positive if he has exactly 5 outs but probably -EV if he has fewer). Raising is tough as it's never good to have to lay down to a lagtard. Raising may force him to fold a Q that he would bet the river with.
I'd like the raise more if I thought that either: a) you were ahead more often than I think you are; b) there's clear value in wanting to try to protect your hand here.
So I just like calling and getting to showdown at this point.
I also like raising the flop, FWIW. It seems there's a lot of value there, particularly as button seems totally willing to cold-call.
