I would be drooling at the chance to play these cards against 7 opponents. In the BB with little chance of driving anybody out with another raise, I think that calling and seeing what the flop brings is a better play than screaming out to the table "YO, big pair, right here." When the flop hits your King's you can check and raise, or if there's enough action, you can smooth call and keep them disguised. I don't think the play was timid. What I was driving at with my post was that the Kings play better against fewer opponents. Maybe the term "lose value" was misused, but I thought the hand was played well. It was smart play IMO.
