I don't think that you're good 25% of the time here after SB leads the river. I might have folded the turn, but i think u can def let this go now since he's checking KJ;KQ on the river after u call his raise.

The bare min raise is an often play w/ a possible draw or weaker king, used to attempt to get to a cheap showdown. However, hands like a weaker king will check this river, possible flush or flopped nuts, despite the odds, just grit and fold the river.

I think we are beat here too. Fold. I would even consider folding to the raise on the turn.

Does anyone like a Cbet on this flop of say ~120-150?

I hate a c-bet here. It's a 3-way pot, the blinds both called me. We completely missed the flop and their range is always huge here.

I will c-bet this flop in later stages, but not with the blinds so low. Better to cultivate a tight image early on imo.
