I usually smooth call this on the turn and raise a non paired river card. If CO checks river then I'd bet about 1/2 pot for value. UTG probably folds this turn bet unless he is slow playing a set or has hit the K w/ strong kicker or hit a flush draw (kind of unlikely since he raised UTG but tough to say without reads) or has a high one club. I like smooth calling here too because if UTG is slow playing a set of Kings he will raise this and you can get it in on the turn with dead money in the pot. Thoughts?

I think its a big mistake not betting the flop. Make it about $16 then flat call the turn as a raise will scare UTG off.

I would semi-bluff and bet the flop. I think if either of them had a K they would have bet it.

I don't bet the flop because I'm much more interested in winning their stacks than the money that's in the pot on the flop. I want to give them a chance to make a very good but not best flush.

If they have a flush draw they are not going to fold to a flop bet.
You should be betting this flop 99% of the time. |

By not betting the flop here, you only lose the chance to win what's in the pot now. You do not lose the chance to stack them, which is what you risk if you bet and get raised off. |

Even if you do it can still be profitable to call the raise. |

UTG has shown he doesn't have a hand, if he has a hand he has slowplayed it big time and wont really scare if we raise the bet on turn. I think raising the turn is better than smooth calling, your opponent cant really know what u have here, since u can have various hands.

Raise turn to $55 here, but definitely bet the flop. I doubt you get an overcall from UTG here and a paired board and club rivers are both bad for you.
