So i've played this player before and he is really aggressive with flush draws. When i'm in spots like this i don't know whether to fold or not. What are your thoughts on this hand? Also should i have even played this hand pre-flop? Thanks for the input :icon_salu

Fold pre. The mother of all nits is opening from UTG+1 and you flat with a dominated hand. It does not matter that there is a fish already in the hand. That is not a good hand for multyway pots.

Standard preflop fold. Swing already listed many of the reasons why.

fold pre, fold flop.

I have been playing a lot of 4NL on Carbon and a 3b on the flop usually means business. Your equity agaisnt his range is very poor.

Thanks

WHY are you calling all ins on the flop with a pair of kings? I'm sorry but this hand is absolutely mindless!

Even after making a loose call pre flop, it was an easy laydown after two players put all their money in before your turn. Top pair is garbage in this spot.:embarasse

As above - fold preflop, as played fold flop.

MP only has a short stack, so there's not much value in getting involved with him in marginal pots, especially multiway. There will be better spots to take his money, especially since you have position on him.
