Why are you raising out of the BB with this hand?? Its an easy check. You have little or no EV preflop. No table is loose enough where this kinda raise is ok. I like the play on all the other streets though.

With the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] instead of the K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I think this is an easy raise. I most likely don´t have the best hand preflop but I can easily get away from it if I don´t hit big...

[djoyce003]

the preflop raise is horrible. Your play on the other streets is ok. MP3 appears to be really aggro, wondering if he has the boat.

I got maligned for making this raise with A8s the other day. It's definitely a bad raise with K5s.

Check PF.

Bet-call the flop.

Check-call the turn.

Bet-raise the river, or check-raise the river. I'm guessing you intented to check-raise but got scared by it coming back 2-bets to you? Just calling is probably fine in that case.

The two things I like least about your line is the PF raise and then out on the turn.

Since my advice seems to be totally contrary to what else has been posted (other than PF), I'd like to hear why playing it this way is bad.

[MoDOH]

I can agree that K5s is probably a -EV play,though not as bad as you guys are making it to bee, but A8s?? Come on that is easily a +EV raise with 7 other people in the pot with you...

[ErrantNight]

your arguments for playing K5s have nothing to do with whether or not you should RAISE K5s in this situation.

I don't like the turn bet into two opponents.

i think mp3 has QT and being LAGgy. but i could be way off.

i think you should lead the river.

[Entity]

Postflop, like others have said, the turn bet is definitely silly, and I'd probably lead the river as well.
