Hand analysis - KQs

[dejableu]

I don't know where you got 9 outs from. I count 10, with 4 Js, 3 Ks, and 3 Qs. Even if we discount his outs to 7 or 8, he improves to the best hand at least 30 percent of the time. Given that he is in a 5-way pot, I think he has enough equity for a raise. Plus, other considerations include a possible free card since he is last to act on the turn, and the possibility of cleaning up outs by getting AQ or Ax to fold when it's two bets instead of one.
