Not one single raise in the entire hand, impressive [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously though, preflop you have to cap. You have no reads, but at that point obviously MP2 has a strong hand 3-betting, but there's two others in the hand and extracting bets when you have an equity edge is a must.

Throw in a checkraise on the flop, and probably cap it if it's three-bet, but then I would go into call-down mode (unless you got two others that keep betting and raising).

I really want to raise somewhere but I think it's only going to cost money. + It's unlikely you have the best hand.

You've got a raiser, a 3bettor and a 3bet cold caller, so c/raising the flop isn't likely to do any good. TPTK is probably a dog here. Getting to showdown as cheaply as possible is the goal, which you acheived.

And I don't mind not capping preflop out of position.

I play the whole hand the same.

You could maybe bet/fold the river?

Reads help here, but IMO it's quite likely that we have the best hand. It's likely enough and the probablility of folding another king is good enough to check-raise the flop. I plan on c/ring the pf 3-bettor but when it's checked through I'd raise the LP flop bettor instead.
The weird check behind could be an underpair that's giving up completely, or a BIMO set. I raise the flop for value and then find out which it is by his reaction.
