I play it the same for only the bring-in. Obviously, no one believes their hand is supreme and you have 2 fully live overcards to any of the other exposed door cards.

The call by Seat 1 could be J's or a middle pair, but at this point I'm guessing that he has a gut shot draw. Somehow, you have to figure a way to get at least Seat 1 and hopefully one other to fold at this point. He pretty much tells you he doesn't have the A's, but you have certainly told everyone you have K's, maybe K's up.

Not knowing anything about Seat 5, I'm guessing he is value betting with 2 small pair to see if you hit 2 pair, but you have a borderline call for one bet (small pot). I can't imagine he's trying to bluff 2 people off of the pot on 7th with that junk in low limit.

Seat 1 didn't improve his J's.
