What do I do?

The question at this point was how to attack my opponent. I was a little nervous that he was drawing for the flush, so I was contemplating between taking him down a few streets, or betting the pot to discourage a flush draw. I also understand calling a .20 raise pre flop with K9o isn’t a super intelligent thing to do, but I felt at this point in the game I was a much better post flop player than him, and he was very loose. I don’t have any numbers because Carbon doesn’t allow HUD’s, but I had made a note about how loose he was.

So someone raised 6x the BB and you called OOP with K9o? Just want to make sure I'm reading that correctly. Fold pre-flop. C/C the flop or CR larger. As played, bet the turn. Sorry, just read your bottom comment. Trying to think of how to say this, but you're saying you're better than your opponent post flop, and then you aren't sure what to do on this turn? It doesn't add up unless he's a complete drooler and you're deeper. We don't even know stack sizes.

Folding pre- is a no brainer.

As played, if the guy is so bad that you can play K9o profitably OOP, betting the flop may not be a bad option since bad players tend to call too often. If you go for the C/R and he does bet, definitely make it more, at least partly for the same reason.

K9 is well known to be a particularly poor hand to play. Go and look up why. Listen to John A, top coach and seek out his postings. At least you are in the right place for help.

So. Carbon allows HUD's. At least HEM2 is working.
Fold K9o OOP. Not only someone 3bets. Always. It is like playing bingo trying to hit something. The draws you can catch are at best gutshots, you do not have a good kicker if a K hits on the flop so your hand is as dominated as it can be. You need at least 2 pairs for this hand to have a future and the villain will probably fold most of the time.

Fold preflop. Raise bigger post-flop. You 100% have the best hand here and shouldn't be worried about anything, there is no basis for a flush draw
