Re: folding KK on a raggedy board to a lot of aggression
First off, even if his hand was flashed, you still are absolutely right to call the flop, and you know that, so I'm just going to assume that you called the flop and a blank came on the turn. If you fold the turn, and you're right, you save about 1.5 BB, (the bets you save minus the times you spike a king on the river). If you're wrong, and you're against KK or something, you lose 12.5 BB.
One's a very small mistake, the other one's a huge mistake. You need to be 90% sure that you're beat here in order to fold. Even if you're behind 80% of the time, folding is a mistake that costs you a bet and a half on average.
Now, "sort of LAP preflop and sort of TAG postflop" is not the kind of read I'd be 90% sure about here. How many times do you see a pot pumped four way only for the winner to turn over top pair? Maybe if your read was "rock-tight 90 year old man who hates to raise", this play would have merit, but I'm just not seeing it here.
