Default Flopping a strong draw with KTs

The cast:
MP3 is TAG

MP2 is TAG
CO is TAG

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises</font>, 1 fold, <font color="red">MP3 3-bets</font>, 1 fold, Button calls, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (10.33 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)</font>

why did you provide a read of CO if he isn't in the hand? messed up converter?

people probably would c/r here if button stays in, but it screams flush draw if/when we check the turn. i thought about betting out, but i just haven't come up with a plan/reason if it is an optimal line to consider.

Same goes for MP2, both reads I provided to make clear raising preflop is good.

My thoughts:
I check/raise this flop with the only exception if it's get checked through. With 2 overs and a flushdraw I have great equity 3-ways. Since pfr probably will autobet this flop a check/raise is correct even if it gets HU IMO. The raise will not lose me much when behind (because of my equity), but will sometimes buy me a large pot by the folding equity I gain on the turn.

More comments appreciated.

I think you are overestimating your equity. Against a 3-bet, I would think more often than not a K ends up costing you money.

Against a 3-bet I agree, our equity isn't great. That wouldmost often mean we're up against AA/KK/QQ/JJ/TT. But these are only 24 combinations and against 15 of them we'll have 12 outs (our K outs is good ~50% of the times we get 3-betted).

AK (12) - 12 outs.
AA (6) - 9 outs.
KK (6) - 9 outs.
QQ (6) - 12 outs.
JJ (6) - 12 outs.
TT (6) - 12 outs.
99 (3) - 6.5 outs (weighted to account for the redraw against a turned flush).

10.83 weighted outs. Plenty of equity 3-ways but losing money when you c/r and are 3-bet, folding out Button.

I would check raise here. If you don't make your flush on the turn c/c and c/f the river pending you don't make your flush.

Check/calling the turn if it gets HU is a big mistake after you check/raised the flop IMO.

this is why i hate c/r here especially w/ only K-high, but i guess with villain being a TAG he could lay down A-high UI here on the turn. SIDENOTE: i've never been very good playing draws OOP [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] but my posting-spewage just got me C/T- does that make my advice better [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
