I can see calling the flop, but not the turn and certainly not the river. You have to get value out of CT's worse hand.

As well out of SB/BB might be like "ZOMG 2 PEARS" and call down.

you gotta find a raise somewhere.....since 4 of you took a flop i'm inclined to raise the flop, if it were just you and the pfr i would wait for the turn or river to raise.

Since the OP said the blinds are terrible, I love the way this hand was played every street. If by terrible the OP means the type of players who will call that flop with QJ for one small bet and take any pockect pair/Ax to the river on this board for one bet each street, but can find a fold if the hero raises and shuts them out, then this hand was played perfectly IMO.

To sum things up, becuz theres no draws on the flop, and the hero's hand blocks all Ax hands from outdrawing him in this large pot, and the blinds are terrible meaning they will call this flop with nothing and they will take many suspect hands to the river and make bad calls on that street also, I think theres more money to be made here by keeping the bad players in than extracting value from the CO. I think this is the perfect board and the perfect situation to play this strong of a hand in this unorthodox way. I like the hero's play even more if the CO is the type of player that may not have Kx here.

Raise the flop and let the bad players make a big misstake if they call with Kx or pp:s. But don't let two players in cheap and risk being drawn out when Kx hit their kicker or pp:s make a boat.

Don't play this fancy on 2/4...
