I think the flop, turn are okay. On the turn, I could be charging one of any of the donks through the nose who thinks their AKo, KQ, etc hands are good.

The river is fishy on my part and I should have kept it that way.

On second though the river isn't too bad, capping would have been terrible, imo.

I like every street except the river. Just call the river. It really looks like MP1 has 44 a lot of the time. Its hard to imagine him playing any hand with a K in it like this besides AK, and people usually raise AK. Plus it looks like button has either AK or KK, so that cuts down a lot on the possibility that your hand is good. When button has KK you are dead and when he has AK that leaves only one K left for MP1 to be holding.

If MP1 is whacko he could play KQ like this, but thats only 3 combos, which is the same as 44. You want to be 66 percent or better for a river raise. I'm not worried about pushing out the button so thats not the reason for the call. Its just that you are less than 66 percent to have the best hand after the turn action.

You think raising the river is good?

I understand you're line now. but my reason for possibly raising the river if for an overplayed hand which does happen a lot at these stakes, although the clue was with the third opponent seeing the river. I think I can safely assomeone one villain over played their Kx and the other has a bigger boat.

Yes. You're looking at two people with trip kings a very large percentage of the time, even when it gets 3-bet. But at that point I think you have to give the benefit of the doubt and just call, without a read.
