Why not raise btn with this hand over 1 limper? Wouldn't call river. Your hand blocks some value but Kd is a pretty bad card to have and he pot multiway.


Fold. Having diamonds is pretty bad to hero call with

People 3bet alot. Do you want to really play 3bet/4bet pots with such trashy hand?


Fold, just a bad hand to hero with. Also, you don't need to police 3-way pots that much.

If people 3bet a lot, consider what kind of hands they must be doing it with. Yeah your hand is disconnected, but two high fds is great against monkey ranges.


People don't 3bet as much as you really think they are on wptgold. And that isn't really some excuse to limp behind a hand that makes nut flushes on the button against fish. Build the pot imo.


raise pre for sure
