pokerstars 10+1 blinds 15-30. I've just lost half my stack the hand before to a suckout, I have roughly 700 chips and everyone has me covered. I'm in the BB with K10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, UTG raises to 75. Four callers to me, I call.

Flop comes KQJ with the QJ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, giving me top pair and an open ended straight flush draw. There's already 450 in the pot, I decide I'm happy to take it down and happy if I get called so I push.

I debated using a check raise all in, anybody prefer that? Its hard to beleive my raise will get rid of anyone that has me beat (maybe ak).

Results:

Either or. It's very much a preference thing. I think your stack is too short to get too much folding equity by check raising. I like your play and thought process.
