$5 NLHE Full Ring: KK in MP on a Ace high board with 5 other players

Was this the right lay down? Were we too weak on the flop? Could we even think of showing strength when the whole fking table calls you on your raise and you are stuck on a board where you are second best pair a majority of the time. Hurts to muck those cowboys though

Check/fold the flop. MP+2 almost certainly has an A.

Folding the flop when it's ace high with that many players in. Nothing you can do, one of them is going to have an ace.

Agreed with dat, bad idea rep A, if want play some tricky we can play vs 1 or 2 villains, so we must fold here.

And raise way more preflop, because clearly they will call!
