Good Fold or bad?

2-4 online.

I'm on the button with KTo. first circuit of the table.

3 callers to me. I call, sb completes. bb checks. six to see the flop.

Flop comes: K [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img]

checked around to LMP. He bets, CO raises. I think for a bit.

Both players are regulars, but I don't have a feel for either of them. Both are up good money.

The bettor or the raiser could easily have KQ or KJ, leaving me in trouble. There is also surely a flush draw out there. Its going to cost me two bets to see the turn, and I may be drawing very thin.

I think my only choices to continue are to 3-bet or fold.

I fold.

All fold to the original bettor, he calls.

checked to CO who bets, LMP folds. I don't know what they held.

How was my fold? good, bad, somewhere in between?

Hi
I think you should fold PF.
I would also, if in your situation, fold on the flop.

I think your fold was good. LMP had A9s and CO had KJ.

hi sobe
too many limpers as you later find out. fold this trash pre-flop. KT against one weak limper from the button or as a SR from the CO.

In general, I would fold.

I think if someone is unable to lay this hand down after flopping top-pair, but suspecting that he is outkicked, then he shouldn't play the hand to begin with.

I think that it probably was a good fold. The pot was still small, and you will have to win about 1/3 of the time to break even, and you still might have to call a reraise from LMP. If you are behind, you probably don't have many outs, and unless the last two cards, come K-T or K-K, you aren't ever going to be certain that your hand is good.

With all those callers the minimum unsuited hand with a king would be KQ in my book. For KJ you'd want less callers.

I think the fold was good. I have to admit that I am tempted to play KTo late also, and this is a good example of why not to play it.

one hand i stay away from preflop is KTo. unless im on a steal play, or bluffing. it can be a very deceptively suck hand.

even on heavily passive tables i fold this. id rather play QT, J9.....

i dont even like completing my sb with it. though, at times i do

if you flop a K, you cant really like youre hand. if you flop a T there are many overcards that can hit.

i think this hand alone has done alot of damage to many players bankrolls.

unless, of course, you have great control over your opponents and can read them real well.

even then, id rather fold it.

3 bet or fold is correct. I can live with the fold and move on without regret.

I'll limp KTo from the button often, but plan to give up on the flop with top pair if anyone shows genuine interest in the flop. Since you don't have a read, you played exactly as you should.
