I have to raise the flop to try to get overcards (like KJ) out of there.

Wouldīnt you actually raise and hope the KJ would call?
If a KJ seeīs the flop for 2 sb and 3 people call, they will be paying 10:2 => 5:1 making their 6 outs unprofitable.
And since poker is a zero-sum game... blah blah.

And why the hell does it say "poker novice" in the bottom? - Something i didīnt write...

In this hand, 5 people limped for 1 bet. No one raised. With your raise on the flop, overcards are getting 7:2 ($1 went to the rake).
Sure you could still be ahead if an overcard comes, but are you really going to be happy, and how are you going to play it with people left to act behind you? This is a pot you what to take down now or at least thin the field as much as possible. At the very least, I want to buy last position for the turn.

The positional factor seems quite valueable here. Itīs quite hard (for me at least) to estimate what is best when more people are in the pot. We are ahead now. But suppose two opponents hold: ak and qj...
They might both make a mistake on the flop by calling a raise. But... If both calls the raise, is it still to our advantage. Doesnīt seem that way, but iīll try to do some calculations and see where they lead me.
