I personally would be folding pre, K9 may be playable in the BTN or CO but you should be mucking this when you are UTG, especially when playing full ring. He could be calling on the flop with flush draws but that will be a small percentage of the time. Most of the time you are beat here as any AK, KQ,KJ, K10 has you beat. And i dont know why you bet so big on the turn, you are just getting worse K's to fold and the draws to fold also, which are the hands you want to call.

^ Agree. Calling from early position with a hand that makes a full house on it's BEST day, a flush that leaves you wondering if someone else has the Ace, a straight that will be beaten with cards in anyone's starting hand range, and that cannot possibly stand to be re-raised pre-flop. If you're gonna play it like a super-premium hand even though it isn't then you need to raise larger than 3x, but you will be playing out of position the whole time against any callers... You simply avoid a lot of trouble by folding this hand mate!

Out of curiosity have you tried multi-tabling? I find that having two more tables open makes it easier to fold worse starting hands because then I am not waiting for the entire hand to play out when I would rather be in the action. Get on to the next one. This strategy let's me see more hands and I am pretty convinced that when it's not helping me make money, it is helping me save money. :listen:

Agree with colleagues.

I notice you mix 6-max and FR games, this might be the core issue here.

UTG ranges from 6-max are MP ranges from FR, and probably even looser. K9s is autofold from UTG in FR.

That's horrible play from UTG. Sorry.

I agree with others, opening K9s utg on fullring microstakes is not a good idea, unless your targets are other than winning pots.
However, for some practicing of various postflop situations it might be a good idea to try, but you also don't have a full stack, so basically it's mostly just burning money.
But at larger limits and especially shorthanded tables this open will be more successful, at least the whole table won't call you as might happen sometimes at the lowest ones :)
