K3 in the SB

[mgs29035]

I'm a reforming Sit n Go player working hard on my cash game now. How bad is this hand, should I be folding pre-flop, button was an aggressive player, I thought his bet was continuation with air, after he calls the flop cr should I be betting out on the turn?

I fold this preflop, crappy hand OOP.

Your check/raise is basically a bluff unless it's against a really loose aggressive villain. You don't beat any thing that would ever call you. That doesn't mean it's a bad play necessarily, as long as you understand it's not a value bet.

I'm confused over how you thought villain was CB when he didn't raise preflop? I don't think that this is the spot for a flop checkraise. You fold out the 1 pair hands that you are beating and have just vastly inflated the pot when he calls. If you do the checkraise you should lead out on th e turn hoping to get a fold out of a draw or better king. My line would be to just lead this flop for potsized and hope to take it down there. I'll usually also fold this preflop in this situation.
