I'd just fold pre-flop in this spot but you got the best possible flop you could. Don't slowplay this ever you're hand is too vunerable. Bet flop,turn etc. Go Midian on this hand.

i would lead the flop for 3/4 pot+ or c/r
as played on the river you really don't beat anything and can probably fold

i don't like the preflop call

agree with yugless on postflop

big mistake

well playing k5o from the worst position possible is just not good.

your only chance to extract value oop with that hand is if u hit 2pair while someone else hits like TP good kicker or worse 2pair
in every other situation will either lose a big pot or not be payed off.

I dont like playing hands for "setup value" ^^

Lol wtfark, odds are good with K5o? just fold preflop, would've saved yourself a stack.

result-oriented play ftw.

Preflop is bad, pretty much always fold this, you could 3bet as a squeeze but I don't advocate such plays on NL 25 FR, especially because if you're called you will be out of position with a lousy hand in a big pot.
Postflop just keep jamming it, if you don't want a flop like this to go with your hand, then don't play the hand (actually you shouldn't play the hand at all but you decided to go with it, so you gotta love this flop and try and get it in).

Ahaahaha

bet flop bet turn bet river, fold to any raise at any point past flop

I agree with not playing this hand, if you wanted to play 'cause of your odds, your odds were only a full house, otherwise you have no kicker. I would suggest to limp for odds with a hand that can flop a monster, like a straight or a flush.
Also this is full ring, and there were only 2 limpers and all of them were short stacked, so before calling see what is your position, think what you can flop that makes you win, and check the stack of the other players.

3betting at lowstakes without a hand is extremely spewy as youre getting looked up too often

anyways, fold pf and 3 barrels for value, with a fold to a raise (like tom said)

but in the grand scheme of things if you want to limp hands, do it with ones that can make straights or flushes K5o has close to 0 value since you never really flop the nuts, even a flop like KT5 I'm not exited about getting it in - whereas if you flop a flush w/ a hand like J2s its the nuts

big blind special right here

fold pf...

bet for value until you face aggression because only a standard weak/tight player with a better hand will be able to push you off primarily b/c board is this dry.

Don't call a shove, etc.

the power of krablar...

see the lesson to be learned here is, K5o is muckable junk in any position, whereas krablar is the fucking NUTS and you should be throwing your stack in ASAP

fold pf probably

he beats K4, PLZ, ofc river call!

krablar wins once again. seriously just fold pre flop, but since you did not this flop hit you well. So just bet and bet and then puke fold when they raise you hard =(
