    I would either have folded preflop or if you are going to play - raise, so you may at least take the blinds, but be aware that if you get called you may be dominated post flop.

    Once you are there I think you payed fine, you need to bet flop and turn as there is an straight and flush draw on board.

    Wota got it!

    Raise of fold preflop... then, it looks ok. Possible Str8 and flush force you to cut the odds.

    KJ

    I don't know about that...I like the complete from the SB. Raising is (imo) not a good idea because odds are you are dominated by MP2 (depending on what kind of player he is) and the button probably has a better drawing hand then you, if he doesn't have you beat all together.

    Folding doesn't look like too big an option either because you are getting some pretty good odds (6:1 if my math is correct) and I'd complete with almost any hand with those odds...the fact that you have a decent hand just makes it easier...

    Post flop, there were some draws out there, you bet enough to make drawing out an incorrect move. I also like the bet on the turn...enough to let him know you are serious and he should go away...over all I think you played it well...

    I misread and thought he was MP2, and didn't think it was good to open a pot with a call on KTs in lateish position.

    Yeah, you should definitely complete SB on KTs with 2 callers already.

    My point is that they may have better hand than you, but they have vulnarable hands for sure.

    Raising put them in a situation to take a decision, and gives you better chance to steal the flop if one of them call.

    + if the hand go to showdown, it build you a good image to genarate action on your big PPs and AK.

    Just my 2 cents.

    PS: You are right Trons, folding KT here is a bit weak... I was wrong!

    KJ
