KK multiway looks crushed in a big pot, wtf do I do?
 

Table is playing pretty wild, obviously. C/Rer is a 40/10 type. I have no idea if I should 3 bet here or just call and pray for a miracle on the turn. I have no idea what my plan is for the rest of the hand.

I'd prefer to call and wait for the turn to raise i think thats the best way to try and protect our hand here.

Pot is huge, raise flop, protect your overpair.

I dont like to wait for turn, unless u can fold if he 3bets.

If he caps flop and bet turn, call down. If anyone else suddenly get aggressive on turn u should normally fold.

It all depends on UTG, right? With your limited read I don't really like your hand that much when this guy trap checkraises the capper + Asia. I might just call down here. If you're putting in another raise I would prefer the turn because it does offer better protection plus it might even be enough show of strength to slow down AA.

In general protecting our hands in large multiway pots is very important, but I dont think our hand is good often enough to make protection mathematically worth it even in this large pot. I could be wrong as I am certainly not crunching any numbers, but I would just call down in this situation as I think im screwed here. I am calling down with the mere hope that my read of this situation is wrong.

yep, u could be right... all we know is that he is a 40/10 type of guy and its not much of a read.

Re: KK multiway looks crushed in a big pot, wtf do I do?
 

I just hope this guy has T9, and start calling down.

Or, you can raise the turn if it's a bricky card, but if he three bets, that's trouble.

re: raising turn, pot will be big enough to call a 3-bet for 2 outs.

the best line is probably call, call, fold, but i pray and call 3x and hope no one raises behind me.

yeah, i would get 3bet, then look at the pot, and do the math.

but I just feel uncomfortable about it. People do strange stuff all the time.

Knowing I would probably raise/call the turn, and getting like 100-1 on the river, I'd call.

What I do in this spot is call, call and call.

FWIW, If I c/r this flop, you can call and fold the turn, but no one ever will.

Try to showdown cheaply and don't raise again in the process.
