Default KJo - what do you think of this line?

CO 14/10/2.8 ~800 hands
MP3 43/8/0.9 ~200 hands
CO seems like an ok TAG and I think he knows I am too. MP3 is crappy and pretty aggressive, but not always in the right spots.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>

Well, if you don't think the CO will raise you with a worse hand on the river ( i assume you fold the river to a raise). CO looks a lot like a flopped set. Would he 3-bet KT on the flop? I would prefer just getting to showdown here.

I'm paying off a raise from MP3 unless CO coldcalls, but I really don't think MP3 will raise very often here.

Given preflop, no king better than KJo. There's no 2 pair possibilities or draw so other than a pair of kings he could just have 55/22.

Hands we're ahead of:
KT: 8 combos
K9s: 2 combos
Kxs: 2 combos
Total: 12 combos

Hands we're behind of:
55/22: 6 combos
Total 6 combos

Given his willingness to 3-bet the flop I would discount the 12 K-combos to ~6 (maybe even a little less). Plus we have 6 combos of KJo we would like to see a sd against (discounted and the split taken into consideration not worth more than 2 combos in relation to 55/33).

Off the top of my head, I think that top pair-jack kicker OOP is not what I want to play when it comes back to me 3-bet, and I fold on the flop. I'm sure I would have done this in the heat of the moment.

Thinking about it, I wonder what CO 3-bets on the flop that he overlimps preflop. 55 or 22? I doubt it. K5 or K2? Please. KJo or KTo makes some sense, although even with these I would expect 14/10 to raise to isolate the loose limper. An oddly played AA is the only other thing I can think of.

Having thought about it, I still think this is afold, but I'm likely not ready to play 5/10 yet.

Nick, do you agree that you must call a CO raise once MP calls. What's nice about this play is you trap MP for two(most likely once he calls your lead)and you don't miss bets from a KT check-through. What's risky is with CO being a TAG he will value-raise KT/KJ as well as 55/22 so I don't think you are in a bet/fold situation. CO has pretty aggressive stats so I think he would have raised KQ PF. Now what do you do if MP folds and CO still raises. That might be a fold situation IMO.

I would lean toward C/C on the river.

You make it sound like getting raised by CO would be a good thing. That would suck.

Also, you say we bet so KT dosn't check through, but then you say KT is value raising if we bet.

My initial thought was to fold, but then I thought about it and decided to call.

He had 2 limpers in front preflop.
