Default Re: $100NL Simple Top Pair OOP

[ QUOTE ]
Depending on the opponent, I will either lead out on the flop or c/c it. Most of the time I lead out and fold to a raise. Turn bet seems kinda small but it's not horrible as there are no obvious draws.

Why do people lead like this? You don't want big cards to fold when you flop top pair. You *especially* don't want big cards to fold when your kicker is a K. Leading has to have the least value.

I think this hand was played fine, but I often fold preflop. I know there's a third player involved that sweetens the pot, but I don't think your implied odds are as good as you think they are with this hand, and your pair value is very hard to extract when you hit.
