I would push here. Pair+flush draw give me too many outs not to.

I think check-raising all-in here is a very good line.

You are almost garunteed a call though if you c/r ai though right? (assuming somebody bets with a K)

Another person suggested an open push and I was wondering what the validity of that was. (I did c/r ai though)

Meh, people will bet with a lot more than Kings, and if they have a king, they're calling your all-in anyway. Unfortunately, yeah, you're probably right, less chance of folding than open-pushing. Still, I think you can make queens and mid-PP's laydown here, and for more chips too.

What about leading with a potsized bet, pushing any raise on the flop, pushing any turn (assuming you are called)?

Ultimately against a naked K, you've got 13 outs twice for your hand, making you, I believe, a slight favorite (and the pot odds make it an even more favorable call). Against a KQ (unlikely) you're not even that big of a dog.

Enh, I dunno, it's a different line. The c/r is probably right though.

Check-raise seems pretty much right on.

I like the C/R AI. If it gets checked around be prepared to check/fold a dud turn, and come out swinging with a slight pot overbet when you do connect. Maximum pressure. If stacks were deeper, and you were playing with aggressive opponents, I would like a small 1/3 pot bet then 3-bet AI, but with these stacks you would have zero folding equity.
