Default Re: Anyone protect their hand like this? (K7o in SB, just hear me out)

[ QUOTE ]
I don't like completng SB here. With so many other opponents, the chances that someone has a better K, an A, or a pocket pair are HUGE!

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you here, loyalguard. I don't think I've ever completed the SB with K7o before. But since the table was so loose, I think I actually have more than my share of pot equity (given that I was getting 17:1 odds preflop). I'm not sure what the odds are of being up against a better king, but they're probably high.

Here's the rest of the flop action:

Hero ?

In this hand I actually went for the check-raise again because I figured that if I bet out everyone would still be getting odds to call with bottom pair and gutshots. But is it better to just bet out after facing the field with 6.5:1 pot odds on the flop?
