BB KK into a 3 way flop.. grumble!
 

Unfortunately this only my 2nd orbit at the table so my
reads were useless...

I'm feeling like this was a good fold, but it hurt to do.. thoughts?

Bet the flop, see what happenes. If UTG raised with JJ pf and you check the flop, he'll often take a shot. If you bet and it comes back raised, I call (then having more evidence that I'm behind, yet having odds to draw to two outs) and fold the turn ui.

You just gave the pot to the guy. I would at least fight for this pot. You represented strength before the flop and have the initiative so you can represent the A and see what happens.

This all makes sense, but I'm still having trouble with the concept.. I feel like, with two callers, one likely has an ace, so the only way to win this pot is to push them off their better hand. Or am I wrong in my analysis?

also if you only bet the Axx flop when you have the ace then you probably wont get paid off very well on said hands if you have somewhat observant opponents

The other way around: It's not unlikely that one has an ace. If they have it or not, you can't find out if you're not betting. UTG+1 raised KQs, MP2 coldcalled with 99 because he doesn't like 3betting them and hopes that his cold call will get other into the pot as well so that he can make $$$ when he hits his set.
