Default 25-50, KK, I am lost on the turn

Decent player open raises from UTG+1. One caller. I make it 3 bets from MP+1 with KK. BB calls, UTG caps, four to a flop.

Flop:

J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG bets, I raise, everyone calls.

Turn:

Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

UTG checks, I check, another player, who is tight/passive and has 100 behind after the bet, bets, a fold, UTG raises.

At this point, it's 100 to me into a 900 pot. I am certain that I am behind and have no idea what my outs are (besides the A.)

Comments? Suggestions?

About the only street I'm sure of is preflop.

The best case scenario is that you have 3 outs to split the pot. I'd fold.

call for a stiraght and fold river UI. Looks like your up against a set here, JJ QQ. If someone already had the goods with AK so be it

I could see this call better without the tight, passive player who just came alive behind me. I think the chances that you are going to get jammed in makes this a fold. But I'm a pussy.

By the way, I lead the turn. Maybe I'm dumb, as well as a pussy.

Wait a minute. The turn action makes no sense. Hero should have position according to the PF action. How does the "tight, passive" player bet after Hero checks?

If I have position, I check behind on the turn, as the only legitimate capping hand I'm against that I can still beat is the other KK, maybe AQs, depending on what he thinks of my 3 bets.

That sounds like the worst case scenario, maybe the most likely scenario too, but still.

If utg has reasonable capping standards, you can't beat anything he has, and like you said, you don't know what your outs are if any.

i really like your turn check, and I think you can fold it getting 9:1 here.

The only part that I don't like is that utg is in a great position to knock you out of the pot, but after his pf cap I don't see him having anything like AQ or KQ.

Tight passive players usually wont bet AK here but try to slowplay it, looks much more like AQ and I suspect he just calls the raise. UTG I have on QQ JJ

Boggle. Are you saying that "tight, passive" players won't bet <font color="black">the nuts</font> on the turn 3 handed with a flush draw on the board against two players who have been aggressively betting and raising?
