some of these would change with specific opponent reads, but:

1) Raise. Cheap street - have to find out if he really likes his hand. He could be bluffing, could have 1 diamond in his hand, could have a Q. You *have* to raise here. Otherwise fold - calling is the worst of the possible options and folding at this point is absurd.

2) Call. He might have the KJ - although I suspect 2 pair is more likely. Folding the nut set here for 1 bet would be very wrong.

3) Fold.

4) Bet out - they won't believe you have it anyways.

5) Fold. You have a gutshot and a possible backdoor flush to the 3rd nuts. and one of your gutshot outs is tainted. so you have only 4 outs (counting the backdoor flush as 1).

6) Raise

7) Call - and check call the river (even if the str8 hits).

8) Call - looks like someone was slowplaying a set that turned into a boat on the river. Someone else may have been slowplaying a flush till the river (hate people that do that) but I probably make the crying call here - and hope it doesn't get capped.

I've seen too many idiots make plays like this with any Kx (usually, but not always, sooted). But this is one of those hands that my reaction changes if I have a specific read on the opponent. If he's half-way competent I call. If he's good I *might* even fold (unlikely though).

1. raise
2. call
3. fold
4. bet
5. call (Coin flip here. When it is so close you can't make up your mind, call.
6. call (I wouldn't have capped the turn though)
7. fold
8. call

[BugsBunny]

Check to get information? What information are you going to get? I bet out on this hand and possibly go for a c/r on the turn (depending on how many callers etc). If I check the flop it's with the intention of c/r *if* the bet comes from my immediate left. If the bet comes from my right I just call looking for the overcall.

[WarmonkEd]

1) raise
2) call
3) fold
4) check-raise if possible, bet out on turn.
5) fold
6) call
7) fold
8) call

Great stuff guys! Some interesting differences of opinion to be sure. I'll let this ride a bit longer before finalizing.

[chesspain]

1. I only call, as there is no point in raising, since no one is going anywhere...no way I fold this yet...

2. Call

3. Fold

4. Bet

5. Call, given the implied odds if I catch my gutshot, plus the runner-runner possibility

6. I would call it down (and I wouldn't have capped the flop)

7. With only second pair and a straight draw, and given the possibility that I'm drawing dead to a flush, I think this is an easy fold.

8. I'll take this one to mat and cap it, since I would be amazed if anyone would have been stupid enough to be slowplaying a set through this flop and turn, or failing to raise on the turn if the J made someone two-pair.
