IMO you should have raised that flop bet.

As played fold.

The flop bet, in my opinion, is a very close call between raise and call, because of all the people in the hand. The assumption of a raise on that flop is that the donker has a range that includes the king and draws, whereas the other players will fold out. But that's not usually true in this sort of multi-way pot-- the donker's range certainly includes the king and draws, but the other players may have been planning to check-raise or check-call with a king. The truth is that we are good less often than we'd like here.

I prefer the isolation/value-raise with an underpair much more when the pot was unraised pre-flop or where I am heads-up, because in that situation, I am not as worried / not worried about a check-raise or check-call with a hand that beats me.

I did fold the turn, and of course, the donker had Q9 and the caller had QJ.

i dont mind a call on the flop ONLY because the board is so dry. but, on the turn, we are caught between the best hand and another hand that beats us, imo. i bet we have two K's in here at least, and BB just hit his gin card. time to fold before we tie ourselves to the pot.

We're basically in the same place with this hand. It's a yucky fold, and it turned out (results-oriented) to be a fold of the best hand, but 99.99 percent of the time, we're not good here.
