How about K4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? Or even KJ[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

I like the flop bet in this case because it might win the pot right there (remember the preflop 3-bettor is being SNG'd by the original preflop raiser...if he's holding TT/JJ/QQ he can't love his chances, and there's a 2:1, I think, but I'm notoriously bad on these, chance he has those over AA/KK/AK given the cards in Hero's hand plus the cards on the board).

Once the preflop 3-bettor is out of the hand, I think Hero has to play it the way he did.
