Readless and (I assume) first hand I'm outta here when villain leads turn. No need to get overly commited to an unsure holding this early.

I like it.
If he had K8/k4/k2 whatever, but a lot of times this will be something like 8d7d or 4d5d. Hope he didn't two pair his six.

i dont see how you can play this line this early

Put me in the "like it" camp. Obviously you will get burned sometimes, but I think you are ahead more often than not.

Without reads i am folding the turn. And if not the turn, then the river.
Why is it impossible to give Villain credit for a hand here? It seems like the first thing everybody assumes is that Villain can only be bluffing, or playing stupid hands like K8.
I don`t wanna say that its impossible that people bluff, but this looks like a bad spot for villain to do so, after you called the turn (saying that you didnt fear the king).

Basically you`re stacking off with a hand which, - you already said it - can only beat a bluff. I Don`t think you`re good often enough here.

i dont think its that bad, but dont be surprised to see a poorly played King here along with his bad draws and weird bluffs.

Folding this turn is really bad.
It gives a lot of mediocre one pair hands or straight draws flush draws.
Villian needs to have K2,K4 or K8 and if those are in his preflop calling range his preflop calling range is so wide that he will lead this turn with a range which 99 is a head.
Hands like 8d7d 6d7d 5d6d etc.
