KTs in MP

[BigEndian]

Nice table. The button appears to be an ABC player. I'm expecting a comment or two about raising PF with this hand. I would with KJs 100% of the time, but KTs is where I typically draw the line - probably something I need to adjust to on loose tables (as this one typically was).

Raise preflop, fold the turn.

I probably would have raised preflop here.

Flop bet is fine.

Turn card is horrible. 4-straight, 3-flush, and a flop that would make a lot of 2-pair type hands. Given your descirption of the button player, I fold to his raise. In fact, I probably check this flop, as again, given your desciprtion of the button, I can't see how this card didn't help him somehow.

Unless the button is a maniac and a habitual bluffer, folding this bet is the best play, it just not worth the 2 extra BB to get to a showdown
