Bet. You're the only one who has shown agression thus far. If they all have K's they will call your bet collecting you probably 3 BB's. The last thing you want is for some bizarre reason this to be checked through. Additionally, It could go bet, raise, call, call, and back to you. I think there is a lot more money in betting ths.

Bet bet bet. Whats better than getting into a war when you have the nuts?? If you whiff on your CR, you may have lost 2-3 BB from overcallers. I've seen many people go crazy (myself included) when they just have the K here. Check Raising just gives away your hand here. Check raising is rarely correct on the river unless you have a very strong read on what they have.

Always bet. There is too great a chance that you will be raised by a worse hand, allowing you to jam when no one is folding a king. If it were heads-up, checkraising is much more attractive.

No one has shown any aggression except you. No need to change it up on the river. Any K will likely be raising you too which would be sweet.

Wost possible place for the sexy. You have 3 callers behind, no gaurentee anyone will bet &amp; which position would bet if they did. better yet, anyone who would bet if you called will probably raise if you bet. Bet &amp; hope the field goes call/call/raise.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the preflop call completing the small blind? You have 2 limpers in and the big blind yet to act. How is your preflop equity not practically 0?
