I know, I know, this is on UB, and I could do much better.
Table has been mostly passive, but I've only been around about 3 orbits. Seat to my right has been aggressive though. I was definitely peeling one for my gutshot, figured my backdoor draws, and the possiblity of cleaning up the K (and maybe the 9?) might be worth a raise, as the bettor certainly didn't need top pair to bet when checked to.
Any thoughts?

Nice play.
I point out that this raise is probably appropriate here because of your relative position. Something that most people don't realize is that with a flop such as this one, we've absoultely got to get other kings such as K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to fold. You were in perfect position to thin the field since the bet came from your immediate right.
Good play, my man.
