MP+1: 20.4 BB
CO: 31.1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♠ 6♦

UTG calls 1 BB, fold, fold, fold, CO calls 1 BB, BTN calls 1 BB, Hero calls 0.5 BB, BB checks

Flop: (5 BB, 5 players) J♣ K♣ 7♥

Hero checks, UTG bets 9.8 BB and is all-in, Hero sees a horrible card on the river, but feels committed. Is he right? Should he give up?

Super easy fold preflop. K6o is pretty much worst type of hand you could have to enter into 5way pot from SB. Even if hitting K high flop we have big kicker issue. If hand was suited I would complete as then we have lot more potential.

On flop check and see what happens. We have that kicker issue and fold equity is really low versus 4 opponents. Sure there are draws that we beat but those might raise and we are in nasty spot but also lot of turns make our life tough when getting called. This turn is one of them. If betting I would probably just shove but that is bit nasty option as well in a way that we might actually force opponent to fold most hands he is behind with. Issue with smaller bet though is that board is very drawy and with this size we give good pot odds for villain to continue and we end up in guessing game on river.

River is pretty much worst possible. What hand do we beat on river? J♥:9♥: type would make sense but that requires villain to also turn hand into bluff. Even with these pot odds we should still fold this river.

But really dont enter multiway pots with crappy offsuit hands.

I understand the call pre-flop, but K6o is a really bad hand to play out of position multi way.

Post-flop I would play the hand more careful with top pair and basically no kicker. It's tough to get value or a better hand to fold against so many players. They always say. Don't go broke in a limped pot. River is a easy fold. I can't imagine 1 hand that makes sense that you beat.

Cheers,

thanks, ghaleon and SDK1987!

Now that you say it like this... I guess I should only continue playing a monster (2 pair+) from the flop in a situation like this and be careful about getting into these positions in the first place.
