What sucks about leading out is that when you get raised, your reraise has little to no folding equity. I think the best way to play this hand is to check-raise all-in. You're BARELY ahead of most Kings here, and it would be a coup if you could get someone holding Kx or 8x to bet the flop and then fold to your all-in.

Dunno. I'm thinking check/raise here or a smaller bet leading out if you think you are likely to get a modest raise.

I don't like it at all. You have a K-high flop with everyone and their cousins left to act and you opt to bet it out OOP. If you want to take the aggressive approach to this hand, then go for a C/R.

When you get a raise and a call behind, well, you have absolutely no FE. I don't see why would you get married to this draw in level 2. It's still too early to put all your money in the middle as a slight favorite against someone w/ TPGK with no FE at all.

check the flop and decide what to do based on the action.

Ok. Thanks for the replies.

I pushed, got two callers. One guy had K8, the other had 56. Luckily, a 5 came on the turn, giving me my straight.
