Default 5/10 Live, Flop top pair out of bb

Hey guys, really basic hand checkup:

Live 5/10 NL at Flagler's in Miami, max buyin 100 (LOL Florida State Law), I just sat down recently, have 130. Almost everyone covers.

Reads: Table is unusually passive pf, seems fairly passive postflop as well. Everyone thinks I am a nitty college kid, since I folded the first four hands I was dealt and speak less than fluent Spanish. Only hand I played I raised to 50 after a couple limpers and everyone folded.

Hand: I am dealt K2o in the bb. Five limpers, I check. No specific reads on the limpers. Flop K84 2 clubs. Small blind checks. My action?

Depends a little bit on your goal here, but almost always c/f here. Any decent size bet commits you. What calls that you are ahead of? A starge combo-draw?

Somehow I imageine you sat at a table where everyone has bought in 10x each and stacks are getting higher and you are trying to catch up. If so, then you probably wanted to push and just re-bought when you lost. I wouldn't recommend it, but I can see the game being played that way.

Next time just look for a smaller game so you have at least a little room for play after the flop.

check/fold the flop.

You have virtually no fold equity here given how many are in the hand, and any bet will commit you for your stack OOP.

If the flop is checked around, and the turn is a blank (or a K or a 2), then bet 1/2 pot to see if you can pick up the pot.

And wow, what kind of 5/10 game has a 100-max buy-in. That's crazy.

With all due respect, you clearly didn't properly read the OP. . . the *max buyin* is 100, so everybody bought in for that amount. I wasn't trying to use some absurd doubling system either, I'm just asking about the correct way to play top pair in that situation. . .

I don't know if you play live, but bets will top pair will be called by *lots* of funny holding in many situations.

There is no other option to play. Most players just follow the rules and play with the $100 and leave if the win a couple hundred.

I would CRAI because in my experiences most $100 stack players would bet with a 4 or an 8 or some pair and by then the pot is worthwhile to go after.. If its checked around bet any non-ace turn. Pretty sure this is for value against bad live Florida players.
