$3/$6 6-handed at full tilt poker
I am UTG with TT, villain is UTG+1. been at the table for about 50 hands, villain is unknown but hasn't been doing anything crazy. I raise, villain 3-bets, others fold, i call. flop comes K and rags. your strategy from here? |

Wrong forum.
Given your positions at the table this seems like a check fold. |

That would be pretty opponent-dependent. Against someone tight folding could be good, otherwise my default is calling down - depending on cards and action.

oops, sorry, i guess mid-stakes start at 10/20?
opponent is unknown except that for the last 50 he seemed pretty typical (no maniacal tendencies) |

I probably call down. If there were an ace on the flop, I'd probably fold instead. A king is my second least-favorite overcard, though, and I don't think you're giving up too much with a flop check-fold.
Capping preflop is an option but I don't think it's obligatory or anything. Capping preflop doesn't make the hand suddenly become magically simple unless you know your opponent plays predictably in the face of a preflop cap (and you don't know that). Capping does probably make the hand a little easier to play postflop, but that doesn't automatically make it the best choice. (As a silly example, folding to the 3-bet would make postflop simplest of all, but of course folding preflop would be absurd.) You are probably a slight dog to Villain's range, and you can't do anything about being out of position either. |

Are you going to fold to the flop raise? C/R the flop? I'm curious about your line here. |

Generally the question in this kind of hand is, "Do I calldown or fold the flop?" There are a bunch of factors pointing toward the latter in this hand:
1) He's UTG+1 2) He's raising a UTG raiser 3) You have TT, rather than, say, QQ Villain's range here is narrow and bad for us. I fold. This is different than, say, KK with an A flops, because we can expect to beat 99-QQ, and sometimes KQ, at showdown. Here, though, even if the K is a scare card for him, we're still way behind: AA-JJ are all still ahead, in addition to AK, and AQ/KQ/AJ still have 6ish outs vs. us. |
