How would you play this hand at each street? The table is loose all around while the UTG likes to raise with minimal hands/no hand.
PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (6 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is SB with :kc, :kd.
UTG calls, MP calls, 1 fold, Button calls, Hero raises, BB calls, UTG calls, MP calls, Button calls.
Flop: (10 SB) :kh, :tc, :7c (5 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, UTG calls, MP folds, Button folds.
Turn: (6.50 BB) :jd (3 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, UTG raises, Hero calls, BB calls.
River: (12.50 BB) :6d (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, BB folds.
Final Pot: 14.50 BB
Results in white below:
Hero has Kc Kd (three of a kind, kings).
UTG has Js Ks (two pair, kings and jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins 14.50 BB.

This is an easy turn 3-bet. You are almost certainly ahead and even if you are behind you have lots of outs to a boat. Don't post results with your hands.

I 3-bet the turn and if he caps, I still lead the river and call a raise. If you have a read that he is aggressive with marginal holdings, I check raise the river and call a 3 bet.

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

If the table is as loose as you say, you gotta 3 bet the turn. But especially after a string of bad beats, I can see why you slowed down with the str8 draw out there.

Thanks for the feedback. I think that often enough if four or five people call me that I am a little tenative to keep betting after a reraise on the turn. At these limits not only are most players loose, but also weak for the most part so I tend to think a re-raise usually means the nuts especially with 5 players in the pot. One point I think interesting, and maybe I'm just wrong here, but why don't I slow play the set on the flop? More often than not many people see a lead bet on the flop after a pre-flop bet as showing weakness. I was thinking here that betting out would work against that assumption.

Isn't that a good thing? Thats the last thing I want is anyone to fold with my monster. Heck, maybe they'll even raise me so I can build the pot.
