What would you have done here? (Is that correct? writing it like that? I don't know!) I took a couple of seconds to think the action for the flop. I finally decided to cap (I did it with so little confidence that I clicked "call" instead of raise. I don't know yet if I was betrayed by myself or if it was a missclick).

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.25/$0.5 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K:s, K:d.
MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: (8.4 SB) J:h, 5:c, 2:d (4 players)
BB checks, MP2 checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets, BB raises, MP2 calls, MP3 3-Bets, Hero calls, BB calls, MP2 folds.

Turn: (9.7 BB) 7:c (3 players)
BB checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets, BB calls, MP3 folds.

River: (11.7 BB) 2:s (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Final Pot: 13.7 BB.
Results follow:

BB shows two pairs, jacks and twos(J:s 9:s).
Hero shows two pairs, kings and twos(K:s K:d).

Hero wins with two pairs, kings and twos(K:s K:d).

What about the stats of MP2 and MP3? On the flop there are not flushdraws and also only the oesd with 34 or maybe gutshots with A3 or A2. But would they play these hands so aggressively on the flop?! If they were maniacs, ok, but normally i do not think so, so i think they pretty sure have both a made hand.

Pocket 5's and 2's are possible, but also a Jack with JT, J9, QJ or something like that. i think i also would not cap the flop. if you are behind against 5s or 2s you only have 2 outs, and if you think you beat them, i would call the flop and raise the turn, because there are not many draws on the flop!

Turn and River is right in my opinion.

So from fish to fish: i would also play it exactly the same way...

Hi!

Standard line is definatelly to cap flop for protection.Sure board is dry and there are almost no good draws there but there are many players and even if they just have pairs/gutshots they have at least 10-15 outs against you. So protection is still very important.

Not terrible to wait till turn but there will be cards you will fill not great about(like J,A,5) and also stuff like the one that happend(that they check turn) is bad

Turn and river are super easy bets
