    Default Playing in BB and your trash hits top pair

    The other day I was in the BB on a full-ring microstake table with K3o. Five people limped in, and I checked, and the flop was something like K84 rainbow. I've got top pair but a crappy kicker. What is the best way to play this hand? Unless I hit two pair on the flop with BB trash, I'd normally just check and hope to hit a set or two pair on the turn/river, and fold to any raises. I'm wondering if this is the best way to play? Should I make a bet, and if so how much? At microstakes people call with all sorts of junk, so it's a little difficult to pinpoint their hand.

    Fold it. If you get to see further streets for free then thats nice, but you dont want to play TPNK in a 6-way pot.

    Against 1 or 2 limpers its worth a raise, but slow down quickly to any aggression.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Fold to bet on the flop, if checked you may be good but proceed with caution.
    Never bet on a white man in the heavyweight division!
