KK on the flop... How would you play it?

This is my eighth hand of the "How would you play it" series.
Again it will be a play by play.

$0.01/$0.02 NLHE 6-Max 6 player

Villain (LJ): $2.18
Hero (BN): $3.58

Pre flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has K♦ K♣

LJ raises to $0.06, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.18, 2 folds, LJ calls

Flop: ($0.39, 2 players) 7♣ T♦ 9♠

LJ check, Hero??

What would you do here on the flop, check it back or bet?

EDIT: I had $0.27 as the pot on the flop, I forgot to add the LJ's call

1/3 Pot Bet.

I would bet $0.12.

I don't think villains has J8, T7 or 97, so you are only losing to T9, 77, 99 and TT. There are so other many combos in villains range that you are probably ahead for now.

I would verify that you may be far behind in these moments or far ahead but I would verify even if it seems that the best thing is not to let you see more letters without paying more

We don't have any info on Villain.
But for me it's a clear CBet - 3/4 pot

Cbet for me too, edit: 3/4 = 0.29

I would bet half of the pot.

I bet here in this scenario .

I would have defended my hand here and put 75% of the bank.

I bet the pot.

Either bet 3/4 or full pot and see what happens ..decisions if you get called ...

In this situation I would bet 3/4 Pot cause there are lot of straight draws with this flop so that way you protect your hand aginst some cards you don't want to see on Turn or river

I would bet 1/2 the pot.

Bet pot or jam here board is wet protect your hand good luck.

I would do the same

1/3 of the pot sounds like a safe bet, however if they've been somebody who has been throwing chips around I would have bet the pot. Another possible move if it matches with the villians style would be to possibly check the flop to downplay your hand and make a move on the flop if they check again.

against the grain play..

I would check it back, see if villain will let hand play out, he might not have the nuts. Normally, I would shove KK, but that board is a tough read, so many combinations..

How to play would depend on your relative chip stack, will it kill your stack to make the move you want?

Bet 1/2 pot. I've been drawn out on too many times to not bet.

I'd bet at least the pot. See what's what. Also would depend on the flow leading up to that hand but gotta get I think.

In the end, we agreed that we should put 1/3 or 3/4 of the bank. Does anyone have an expert opinion, which of these two is more correct?

Hi there !!! I would bet 100 percent of the pot here. So, 40 cents. I would usually go 2/3rd's here, but the board is pretty connected. I would want to charge the villain's draws. Take care

This board is not very good for KK. But you should cbet about 50% of pot to get value from AK, JJ and straight draws.

Here is what hero did:

LJ checks, Hero raises to $0.25, LJ raises to $0.77, Hero??

What would you do now? Call or cbet?

If we call we are pot commited (feels like it?), so I prefer shoving.

With info folding is option too, but 6max is ocassionally quite aggressive even under 25nl.

I think people don't bluff much in this spot at NL2.

I would call here and see whats happens later. If villain bets huge after turn, you are probably beat.
