Flop Analysis

Flop Kc‑2c‑2h in a 4‑way limped pot, checks to HJ who fires full pot 4bb into three players. In a multiway limped pot, that sizing is already very value‑heavy – Kx, strong pairs, strong club draws. Checking is fine, but taking 8‑high with no backdoors and turning it into a min‑raise bluff is just punting; we have no real equity and no key blockers. Once HJ jams over the raise, folding is completely standard.

Note: Turning pure air (87o on Kc‑2c‑2h) into a min‑raise bluff versus a full‑pot bet in a multiway pot is very low EV; we’re bluffing in a spot where ranges are strong and we have no equity or relevant blockers.
