Looks perfect to me.

BTW, the K hitting has nothing to do with why I fold. I would fold if raised on any turn here besides an 8 or 9. CO will have a 6 a high percentage of the time.

with a 1/3 small blind structure here, i fold preflop every time

would you call with 98o from BB if MP raised, CO called, and folded to you? i would everytime, not because of the raise, but because of the poor odds

and being in the SB is even worse because you're not closing the action, and you're up against 3 opp instead of 2

Ah yes, I didn't notice that this was at 5/10. I fold preflop too but the rest of the hand looks good.

SB is 2/5 of a small blind, not 1/3. You are paying $3 to see a flop with a $20 pot. Good odds and 2 limpers indicating they dont have good hands. I would call.

I would normally bet flop, afraid noone is betting behind and with a lot of overcards killing my hand. But cr is fine. And fold turn is the only thing to do.

yup i meant 2/5. still an obvious fold i think. you are getting 17 to 3 preflop, a little more than 5.5 to 1. still not good enough

Fold preflop and bet the flop.

A flopbet will protect the hand or atleast give incorrect odds. It also doesn´t allow them to put you on as narrow a range as when you CR, which allow them to bluff you out on the turn.

Looks decent to me. If he's aggressive enough to try to take it from me on a King scare card, so be it. You already raised him once.
