Usually in this spot, you will benefit more from checking the turn then you will from betting. You don't know if your hand is good, but you have ways out if you are behind. If you didn't have the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], then the correct play would be to bet and fold to a check/raise. The exception I guess is if you are up against a play who will never check/raise (and pull stop and go's with good hands) you in which case betting is okay.
