On the flop, if the is no fd, it is wa/wb imo. UTG has not very often AT and A9, A8, 88, 99 are in his range. Of course I don't mind if btn call down with kk.

Re: debatable flop ?
 

with these stats I think folding the flop here is correct, but in hand I would prolly c/3bet the flop and go from there folding the turn as the action goes like this

Re: debatable flop ?
 

Button is probably folding with 99/88 and may well just have a big pair here (the way the hand went he must have JhJx)
UTG can have 88/99, AK or an optimistic AQ occasionally. Is 3-betting worth it to stop the button backdooring a flush?

Re: debatable flop ?
 

I don't fold this flop.

I think a 3-bet would be good vs loose villains, but in this case I'm calling and reevaluating.

Turn is an easy fold ofc.

Re: debatable flop ?
 

i donk the flop because i play as if my opponents are both me, and donking the flop is best in hero's spot vs. two of me.

Re: debatable flop ?
 

I'd feel like I have the nuts on the flop. Turn action proves otherwise but I would have raised the turn the first time if I slowplayed like this on the flop. This isn't a spot to fear anything (until you see UTG 3 bet the turn that is).

If I'm not donking the flop, I'm check/3-betting it.
