It "cleans up" your overcard outs. That is, by knocking out a player or two, you increase the chance that you will win the pot by catching a king or jack.

• Since you have position on the bettor, it might buy you a free card on fourth street (if you want it).

• It could help you win the pot without making your hand. Just because someone bets the flop doesn't mean he is committed to showing his hand down. People bet weak pairs and draws all the time. Raising will help you steal the pot if that's what Dangermaus is betting.

That's from the KJs hand.

2 out those 3 really don't appply to loose low limit games.

The flop was T93raindow and you have KJ with backdoor flush draw.

1. Cleaning up outs? 9J 9Ks aren't folding, the only hands you are knocking out are random overcards which would have a turn redraw on you when you make pair yet those not worth much. These hands would have also folded to your turn bet when you make pair.

2. Free card is a great benefit.

3. Win the pot unimproved? So many limpers seeing the limper-loving-flop?

No meantion of you may be ahead? Even though he is likely to either checkcall or checkraise with a draw.
