http://cakepoker.com/HandHistory/?Hand=xcTHw8TFxcbNwcTExMDEzYjFxsPBxsI%3d I'm Naru420, and though it does not show, I'm holding KQo (neither is a heart). My question: what to do on that flop? I raised fairly big ($1) preflop to try to thin out some people, but got way more action then I wanted. Can I take a strong lead at that flop? K9 is easily possible with that many people and of course AK is possible, though I think AK would have reraised preflop. Still, one of the later callers could easily have AK and been scared to reraise. After the short stack all-in, more and more calls. I called and planned to lead a non-heart, non-ace turn. ... and then that came and I didn't lead. The pot was huge, and any raise would have meant going all-in. Anyways, after there its a mess. But what can I do before that? As a note, I don't think limping KQo is good here, or folding preflop. Its too strong not to play, and usually a raise to $1 seems to cut it down to 1, 2, or at the very most 3 people coming to the flop with me.

Hand from Cake $50NL 6-max. Sorry for the lack of hand history, it happened several days ago but I've been thinking about it: Folds to me in CO, I have $50 and QcQx. I raise to $2.25. Button folds. SB (with around $28) and BB (with around $40) both call. Now, its Cake, they could literally have anything, any two cards suited, any two semi-connected cards, anything. Pot is $6.10. Flop is 4c2c4x. SB thinks for a second, bets pot. BB calls. I...? SB's bet is almost certainly not a 4. I've never ever seen someone on Cake who flopped trips like that lead out, and certainly never ever with a pot-sized bet. This leaves him with a 2 (very possible) or a smallish-overpair (55-88, maybe even 99 or TT). BB's call threw me a little, but it could easily be a flush draw, perhaps a 2, and maybe even a slow-played 4. He might have something like 35 or A3 for some form of straight draw (although the gutshot is a bit unlikely since he called a pot-sized bet). I'm getting 3 to 1 odds to call, but I really have no idea where I'm at. I'm probably still ahead, but scare cards are any club, ace, maybe a king, and maybe a straight card. What do I do here? Any reraise will get SB to push or fold, while BB could possibly call a reraise but definitely would get it in on the turn if he had much of anything. Leading out with a pot-sized bet usually means a fairly strong from Cake players, but trips almost always check raise. Is folding an option? Do I have to just grit my teeth and push? I ended up pushing, trying to get the money in when I was ahead of flush draws, etc. SB instacalls with AxTx, no draws, and BB instacalls with Ks4s, having me crushed. Sigh.
