Flopping nut straight with heavy betting action on flop

[Verdi]

I couldn't believe the action on this hand. Was I right to push to protect myself from the flush or should I have made a pot size bet instead?

(biggest $25NL pot for me...)

i disagree. after an LP open limper, limping here is fine. all three options are fine really...

[webmonarch]

I also think limping is the best play. Raising with KT is a little sloppy, IMO. I don't fold it in this situation, and MAYBE I raise if the villain is painfully loose.

Raising or limping is good preflop. Folding is bad. You don't really have any other way to play it on the flop, since your hand is very vulnerable and the current nuts.
