I'm just wondering what people's standard lines are facing this action on this flop.

Me(SB) $11.63
QW_BT(BB) $19.82 - VP:23 PFR:18 AF:2.0 W:67|0 STL:63|100 3B:5|67 CB:100|100 N:-3.05 Hands:40
rhasspoker(UTG) $10.30 - VP:30 PFR:30 AF:Inf. W:60|0 STL:67|40 3B:28|67 CB:25| N:-13.45 Hands:50
Molesterx(CO) $14.38 - VP:45 PFR:32 AF:1.0 W:50|100 STL:50|75 3B:7|50 CB:67|0 N:4.23 Hands:22
Bejna(BTN) $13.03 - VP:20 PFR:20 AF:Inf. W:20|100 STL:43|60 3B:23|0 CB:25|50 N:-2.15 Hands:50

Pre Flop: Me(SB) with [Ks,Kd]
rhasspoker(UTG) folds,

I think, you should stack off here. He doesn't have many 8x combos, but he can have many flushdraws, overs+draws, Jx. This board in this situation against this op is to bad to call. You will hate like 60% of turn cards and you are OOP.

I would be larger on the flop around 1.40.

As played we can just peal the flop on all none heart run outs or just jam and get it in good vs draws and some Jxs

I would just call and never fold anywhere in the hand. I don't expect JJ or 8x to raise us on the flop, they most likely have nothing. I would call and then call off the rest of my stack expecting to be good very often.

I agree I could bet a little higher, it's a paired board, but a wet one at that.

Very unlikey villain has an 8x and JJ won't be raising unless they are drunk. So, I call flop and bet/ship turn, expecting to see something like AJ/QQ/stupid AK or total bollox; easy game.

I'm jumping on the don't fold train. His line makes no sense and I would be surprised to see any Jx, 8x or even a flush draw. People do weird things so just call the flop and let him keep his bluffs in. Facing a bet on the turn I'd shove. Mainly because I don't expect many micro players to triple barrel bluff here and getting it in against the rare Jx or draw on the turn that might have checked back river is a huge win.

I agree with

@Harvie. I wouldn't fold here and I think that check/calling and call down punishes villain's tendencies better than just going over the top.
