Erm ... I just meant to point out that there are lots of outs. And that I need to go re-read some Sklansky.

I'd check behind on this flop. Despite the lack of betting you are likely behind here. Very likely behind.

But, I'd bet the turn, since now you are likely ahead, and a check raise isn't too bad with how many outs we have.

I agree 100%. Man that's one terrible flop... turn bet is good for value, okay even if you get c/r'd because you have so many outs (add the chop outs).

Let's also not forget all the other possible hands the villians could have here. You are giving a free card to 2 diamonds, 2 clubs. A hand like 2 pair here has 4 outs against you (at which point you will lose a *ton* with a worse full house) and any random hand has 4 king outs to split! You have a strong hand, don't give free cards.

I'd also like to restate the fact that many standard 1/2 players will not check/raise here even with a king.
