So the wife and i spent Tuesday night at the Casino ,they had $59.00 night special room rate wee :) . I went to the poker room and wanted to play No Limit but only wanted to play $120.00 and it looked like they all had $300.00+ stacks so i opted to play $3-$6 limit which means Blinds are $1SB $3BB and you can only raise $3 pre and flop unless someone rerses then another $3 it caps At $12.00 pre and flop. Turn you bet $6 and River $6 with caps of $24 . So one hand i had KK BB the UTG lmps and SB rses to $6 i rerse $9 utg calls SB rerse to $12.00 we all three call . Flop of course comes with an ACE on it, dont really remember the other cards but they were smll . I Chk UTg bets $3 SB calls i call to hope and hit a K . But nope 8 comes i think . So i chk utg Bets $6 SB calls , so now there is $57.00 in the pot i know dam well one of them has to have an Ace in there hand, is it correct to fold KK even with huge pot odds but prob only 2 outs now, and should i have folded to the $3flop bet ???

You're about 4% to hit a King on the river and even if we assume that you get an additional 2 bets if you hit on the river AND your KK is always good (hint it's not) you need about 8% to make the call. Fold.

Calling the turn is fine since you're closing the action imo.

By the way i ended up making $100.00 the first night then next day i lost $99.00 of it to crap like that hand so i profittted $1.00 out of about 24 hours of live play ughhhh . Not sure how you are suppose to play Live Limit but they play every hand almost horrible players IMO. But lucky:)

Sounds like you were in a tough spot. I would have either folded or raised the flop to test your opponents and possibly induce checks on the turn and river. Ultimately stay within your comfort zone and it sounds like the card tables at the casino weren't right on this occasion.

Yeah i figured they both put in $12.00 preflop so i was 99.9% sure one of them has an ace so why bloat the pot up even more they wont fold A9 or higher pretty sick players.

So calling the $3.00 on flop to see what they both do on the turn is a bad play you think?? I was hoping to hit a k or they both check check??

No calling on the flop is fine. The problem with raising the flop to try to get them to check through the turn is that you're not last to act on the turn. So once you raise flop and then check turn you're ****ed anyway and you've throw away an extra $3 to boot.

If you were in position and one of them had donked into you on that flop raising to try to see turn and river for free would have been reasonable. OOP not so much.
