I think you have to bet/fold.

check/fold most likely.

This flop is just as scary for everyone else as it is for us.Pot is huge already, I think we need to at least stab at this once. We could be looking at JJ and TT here, who knows. I fold to any raise, and if called, I almost always c/f the turn.

Definitely bet to begin with. CO doesn't look likely to have an ace, and while button may have one is just as likely that he has a lower pair. It's at least worth one small bet to give ourselves a chance. In a three-way pot here, I'm not going to try to go through every possible action, so if you bet and want to know what to do when called or raised, I'll need the further action. I will say that I'd be more inclined to believe Button and just get out whereas CO's likely enough to have a draw that I might pay him off to the end, or at least stick around to see if he checks behind on the turn.

No one likes to see the Ace flop when holding KK.But I am actually more likely to want to stick around on this 3-flush board than if it was a rainbow flop.Reason: When someone calls or raises me on this board, it means that I am beat less often than if it were on a rainbow board, in my opinion.Now I am certainly not optimistic about my chances in this situation.If a 4th heart comes, I'm gone.If there is a bet and raise, I'm obviously out of there.But otherwise, I stick around in this hand longer than I would if there were not 3 hearts on the board.--CM
