UTG+2: $2.19
Hero (MP1): $2.00
MP2: $1.97
CO: $1.30
BTN: $3.73
SB: $1.98
BB: $2.40
UTG: $1.45
UTG+1: $1.44

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP1 with K :spade: K :club:
UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.14, 1 fold, CO calls $0.14, 2 folds, BB calls $0.12, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.47) 9 :heart: T :spade: A :spade: (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: ($0.47) 3 :spade: (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks

River: ($0.47) 3 :heart: (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks

BB is 22 / 6 / 6 (only 18 hands)
CO is 43 / 7 / 2 (only 14 hands)

1. Any better line than the one I took? I figured any A calls any bet so I can't get rid of it, while getting questionable value from straight draws and flush draws isn't worth the risk.
2. If someone bets, I do what? Fold is probably the best idea right? Flushes are scary, Aces are scary.

I thought that CO might have Ax suited or something like it, or 2 Broadways, or PP. Hard to say with what he coldcalls 0.14 and then doesn't bet flop after 2 checks before him :D
BB can have anything, maybe he thinks he has good odds to call with ATC... who knows.

1)You gotta bet the turn and river dude, fold if they play back.
2) I'd check call a bet on the flop and most likely turn depending on the size of the bet.

Thanks.

So you would not fold to their flop/turn bets for lets say half pot? I only have 2 outs against Aces (if I don't count runner runner straight, which could anyway lose to a flush) and turn completes a flush.

OK, but what is the logic here? What is calling me that isn't stronger?

Like everyone else says, fire away...no point in playing scared, sure the board was scary, but you're the shark, scare them. If you barrel the flop, and you get a call, id say fire on the turn, if you got a call on the turn then I'd be weary. If you get a raise on the flop after you barreled then they prob hit.

Is there a way to mathematically find EV here?

Lets say assume villain ranges include all PPs, all Ax suited (not only those that connected with flop), all Broadways.
I get called by all hands that beat me, and some that I beat.

Fold equity is almost irrelevant since nothing that beats me folds turn/river (sets, straights, Aces, flushes).

How can I crunch numbers to see correct EV?
