With 5 people on the flop there is about a 50% chance one of them has a king. If one of them did have a king I would expect them to bet it, there would be no reason to slowplay it. So it being checked all the way to you would be a good signal to bet. Looks like SB is trying to steal the pot when he sees nobody else bet.

What do you make of the SB bet after the flop is checked around. Checking makes later streets harder to play.
By betting the flop you get an idea of how good your hand is if someone checkraises or fires away on the turn.

In this hand, I would be inclined to call down assuming that my hand is good a fair % of the time.

Uh, you should most definitely bet the flop. You're not taking a free card here, you're giving one. That's bad.

After passing on the flop bet, I got pissed at myself for playing this hand so poorly. That's why I mucked the turn.

I just played this one so very badly, wanted it to end /images/graemlins/crazy.gif
