I can't fold a flush . . . can I?
1/2, American Legion hall. Straddling villain is loose and spewy pre- but generally has a clue postflop. The other villain is an OMC minus the C. Hero started out hot, including a hand where he flopped a set with 88 and rivered quads, but the pair on board counterfeited Straddler's A3 that flopped two pair and he folded. But I've given all my night's winnings back plus interest. I still have about $500 in front of me, and I cover.
Straddler straddles for $10 UTG. Several calls, Hero calls the Button with 6♣ 4♣. SB calls. Straddler raises his option $25 more. Some folds, Hero calls, SB calls.
(Loose call, I know, but that's not where my question is. Straddler can have almost anything here, including 72o and 32o for the sheer hell of it.)
Flop (>$100): Kx K♣ J♣
Checks around. (Really think I should have bet my FD here in retrospect.)
Turn (>$100): 3♣
SB bets $45, Straddler raises to $145, leaving about that much behind. SB also has about $150 back. Folds to me.
I have no idea where I'm at. I don't want to fold to just a K (or a J) but I don't want to ram this flush right into someone's boat.

I think it's easy fold as played.
Flop is easy bet for like 30ish.
They have lots of boats/flushes in their range. No they are not bluffing. Sure they might overvalue Kx sometimes but more often not they don't unless they're fish.
*edit* just looked at spr, it's horrible,
maybe flush is ok to shove, but I'd still fold.
probably fold pre given stacks are so short.
Fold pre. first time, calling is bingo, can maybe raise sometimes with reads. Fold even more the second time.
Don't bet the flop without an amazing image, maybe not even then.
Not sure of size, normally we'd want to bet small (so 25-35) but I don't think we should bet very often at all here. Maybe we have JJ sometimes, and the two combos. of KJs ... if we ever magically had KxQc, but that seems very unlikely. To be fair I can see a bunch of fish having KTo here and betting, so maybe they buy that.
If we bet we are massively overbluffing and don't want calls or raises.
Turn ez game, just fold and count it as a win that we only torched 35.
I have no idea where I'm at.
Duh. That's why you shouldn't be overlimping with 6-high dogshit.
