Default PLO8 $100 Kings

Reads:

UTG+2 is semi-loose/Aggressive (35/9), raising many hands preflop from all positions.

MP1 epitomizes weak-tight.

Button is terrible, a huge gambler (80/20) who calls too much with weak hands.

SB is loose-passive (55/0)

My thoughts: The flop is drawless, and after my check (obvious?) I'm facing a continuation bet and a fishy call. This was not unexpected. Now, I have an overpair to the board which figures to be best a good portion of the time, and a low draw that is probably not best but will sometimes steal the low if a deuce or trey falls. I can scoop this pot, or win it right here.

Also, as per our discussion yesterday, I figured I had excellent chances to fold AA-rag-rag with the pot-sized reraise.

So, I get aggressive with kings and a weak low draw. Thoughts?
