But what I worry about is bloating the pot with an offsuit hand. People will have correct odds to call with gutshots on the flop almost definitely.


Same is true of AKo. You'd raise that here, no? The whole "I don't want to give people odds to draw" argument ignores the value you gain from the flop raise. Now, don't get me wrong. KJo isn't AKo in terms of EV and raising it in situations like this will increase your variance. I think it's clearly +EV though, particularly in a game where people regularly limp with K4.
