Either raise or fold the flop. Calling is horrible.

No, folding is horrible.

The reason I'm asking is because in these cases I'll usually raise flop/bet turn/free showdown because it costs the same but I get control of the hand and a little bit of fold equity/protection value. I don't get what reasonable advantage a free card gets us when we're playing with what may be the best hand.

Thanks Redd. This is a very good point. (Also pointed out by Nick.) I'm definitely keeping this one in mind.

Raise that flop damn you! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] other dudes gotta prove they hold a K to me, gotta pay for the privalige to see the turn.

Bet Turn, if raised, call down.

River sucks, but if villain had gone passive if you'd raised the flop and led the turn, you might just want to check through here.
