I hate KK

[moot]

It's okay, the poker gods just paid me back. I meant to just finish out the rotation and kicked myself when it posted the BB. Until I finished the hand of course. I didn't cap on the flop because it looked like I was behind a flopped straight (I was right) and I wanted others to stick around. Bet the turn cuz I figured the LP would raise. HOORAY! And don't tell me to raise this preflop. Out of position I just think it's stupid.

You fold it and then recoup your losses the other 70% of the time you get KK.

Even if they turned over a straight, you should still have capped. You have tremendous equity 4-way.

How the hell do I play this?

If you never folded the best hand, you're probably calling down too much. Suck it up, go to the next hand. (This does not read "Fold the best hand often", but it is a concession to the fact that sometimes the strategically correct choice is a FTOP error.)

Without reads, I'm willing to let this go.

check/fold KK on the flop.
