Party $2/4, So I raised the bring-in with KK and got five callers
 

On fourth street, my hand is K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

A guy bets out $2 when he hits ace on board-I don't think he has it. The Pot is $15.

he gets four callers (none who have four flushes or threatening boards)

What should I do? Raise $2 and increase the pot for the next street, wait till next street and raise/bet and continue doing that the whole hand? Just call and hope to hit two pair?

Big pairs play best against fewer opponents, so your raise will accomplish this goal AND increase the size of the pot that you are a favorite to win.

Smooth calling will only encourage 1 or 2 or all 3 of your remaining opponents to peel off another card on the cheap...next thing you know they'll all have 4-to-flushes/straight or even 2 pair and then your kings will be at risk.

Easy, eyes closed, raise!

Hang on...Maybe I'm not understanding things here but I don't see raising 4th in this position limiting the field. 4 people have already called one bet, you think they'll fold for one more? (assuming the ace doesn't 3 bet you). Unless everyone was in on this hand you're at best getting one person to fold.

Given your description of the hands I think a raise here is for value, but don't think it will limit the field.

I would just call and see what develops on fifth. This is a hand you may want to fold on that street.

I totally agree with this, but I don't raise for value here. I just don't feel that you have very much of an edge if any edge at all with 1 pair against five other callers, I take a card off and make the decision on fifth.

Sorry, I misunderstood hero's position. If its a bet by the ace and then 4 callers and then hero acts, its an easy call...a raise is a baaad idea.
