    Villian 1 BB 1500 hasnt played a hand yet
    villian 2 1700 utg +3 LAG showed bluffs last two hands with 8 + 9 high.

    Villian 2 raises to 66. folded to me, i flat call hoping to induce bluff later on. BB and utg call 46. bad/good

    Is this a tournament or a cash game?

    Either way slow playing kings preflop is fine if you're not going to go broke when a board like, I dunno, let's say, 5-8-9 comes down and two other players show a lot of interest in the pot.

    lol.

    You have to raise preflop becuase the inital raise is too small that the limper is going to call and so the blinds will prob call too, taking your KK 4 way, and with little money in the pot, sucks. I would never raise the flop if i got to this situation, I would prob just call if they were this weak, but folding is also viable.

    Just call the turn if they bet small and stupid then peel another card off on the river. We want to get to a showdown cheaply becuase of the preflop mistake. As marq said that board is so ugly, its nearly your worst nightmare for your KK. If i had got to this point preflop i would be praying for an A to drop!

    the only time i flat call with kings or aces preflop is when one person raises , gets no callers and i am on BB or SB ; with several people to act afterwards you could get involved a multi way pot and potentially loose a lot , or get heads up with one player

    pretty much what i did. i flat called the turn bet with another three(clubs) on the river i called another 200 bet. the bb had 9 6 of spades and the 2nd villian had ace 3 of spades :mad: i was just wondering if anybody would tank it on the turn
