Should be an easy fold in a protected pot.

Tricky fold, doubt I could do it. Playing that limit I see a lot of idiots with pocket 10's make that same play. It is probably correct to fold, however, since you assume you are behind to the Q or a better K. Of course all posts will be skewed now because you posted the results. You should have raised &amp; reraised!!!!

Calling down together with UTG would give you 6:1 odds and I really don't think you are good often enough since your kicker doesn't even play. So I think it is fine. But what do I know? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Good fold, MP CRed a protected pot, your kicker doesn't play, and the pot is small.

This is a trick question.

The correct answer is you should not have put yourself in this position. You are acting first in a 5-way pot. The flop is highly coordinated and many limping hands will have a piece of it, either a pair or a draw. All you got was top pair of kings with no kicker and a backdoor flush draw.

Check the flop and see what happens. When it comes back you may be checkraising, calling, or even folding. However it goes you will have more useful information than if you had bet. Maybe you'll avoid being put in an impossible situation on the turn.
