$1/2 KK vs unknown raise on 10 high flop
$1/2 early Friday evening 9 handed. Table and H are straight dead, no action at all. H looking for a table change.
V LP MAWG ~$325. Haven’t seem him do anything at all. Gives off ABC fish vibes.
H EP MAWG ~$300. Haven’t played a hand in over an hour.
OTTH
H gets KK, RFI $10, rando c, V c. 3 ways.
Flop ($30)
T92r
H $15, rando c, V $50, H?
Obviously worried about a guy with no aggression history at all playing back into my tight aggression. V giving off strength reads, but I believe V would think JJ, QQ would be strong here. V also have sets and 2p in his range. Not worried about rando.
H? Feel like all three options are potentially viable.

I would mostly check this flop OOP to two cold-callers but I don’t hate betting.
I feel pretty strongly that the only good option facing this flop raise is to call. Folding is too tight against a relative unknown. Worse value is possible and there are a number of available straight draws.
On the other hand, raising is so strong that it gets many of the worse hands in V’s range to fold.
After calling the flop raise, I would play very cautiously facing increased aggression on later streets.
Tbh, I want to fold here. I'm fine tho with call and see if barrel 2 goes off.
Leaning more fold due to V2 calling your cbet, then the V1 raise only 3x. V1 could just suck, or this is "I have 99, please don't fold."
Live reads: do they seem totally excited, are they screwing around, etc.
Call
Flop bets are never to be trusted and villain is also looking at a call from a guy that hasn’t played a hand in a hour. He has to consider that strong.
Though you could raise, you’re betting into the unknown. By calling, you stand to gain info. If you do have a bluff-catcher, it’s a pretty strong one.
Checking to the raiser and see what villain does. This is a situation where you worry less about getting value, and more about not getting stacked.
It’s very possible v takes the FreeCard on the turn, but if he bets big the decision will be difficult - let’s see what happens
Grunch:
PRE - looks good to me.
FLOP - think it's okay to check from OOP when multi-way. Also okay to c-bet if you think action will just check through. Bet size seems ok to me.
V's raise size seems fishy. Don't think I'd want to fold. Also don't really love the spot with rando getting a great price if we just flat call.
I dunno man. I feel like the solver jockeys would lose their minds if we think about folding, but it feels like a fairly under-bluffed spot.
I guess call and see what happens next.
I would rather check oop on this flop, which is not good for your range. That way you avoid occasionally getting raised like this and can get more information from what the others do.
